The NAACP is doing everything possible to fight efforts to prevent voter fraud and meanwhile, a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee is headed to jail for voter fraud. Coincidence?
While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws
requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison,
sentenced for carrying out a massive voter fraud scheme.
In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County,
Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of
fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP
website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.
Sowers received a five-year prison term for each of the 10 counts,
but Circuit Court Judge Charles Webster permitted Sowers to serve those
terms concurrently, according to the Tunica Times, the only media outlet
to cover the sentencing.
“This crime cuts against the fabric of our free society,” Judge Webster said.
