DOJ: Democrats Paid Pennsylvania Election Officials to Stuff Ballot Box

On Thursday, the Department of Justice announced charges against former Judge of Elections Domenick DeMuro, 73, for stuffing the ballot box for Democrats in exchange for payment by a paid political consultant.

"Right now, other federal prosecutors are aware of cases of double voting in federal elections as well as noncitizen voting. Attorney General William Barr should prompt those other offices to do their duty and prosecute known election crimes."

As Judge of Elections, DeMuro was paid to oversee the election process in the 39th Ward, which encompasses Philadelphia.

DeMuro's guilty plea states that he was paid by a political consultant to illegally add votes for particular Democrat candidates in primary judicial races.

According to the indictment, the political consultant allegedly solicited payments from Democrat candidates who hired him, classifying them as "Consulting fees." The payments - which ranged from $300 to $5,000 - were then allegedly used to pay Election Board Officials, such as DeMuro, in exchange for those officials illegally adding votes for the consultants' Democrat candidates.

DeMuro admitted that he illegally added votes for Democrats on Election Day and then certified later that the votes counted were accurate.

"DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear," U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement.
