The Ohio Attorney General announced today that conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh will not be indicted for voter fraud. You may recall that in the days leading up to the Ohio Democratic primary, Limbaugh encouraged the GOP faithful to cross-over and vote for Hillary as part of "Operation Chaos." While this news will come as a disappointment to many, the consolation prize - a landmark quotation from the Attorney General's office - is certainly sweet.

"We have no intention of prosecuting Rush Limbaugh because lying through your teeth and being stupid isn't a crime," said Leo Jennings, a spokesman for Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann.
The GOP faithful who followed Limbaugh's advice may not be so fortunate. Under Ohio law, primary voters must sign a form attesting under penalty of prosecution (a felony) that they support the principles of the party whose ballot they are requesting.
