Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. was found guilty of felony conspiracy counts to commit petition fraud and forgery, and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe was found guilty of felony forgery counts and falsely making a petition, after being accused of faking petitions that enabled Obama, then an Illinois Senator, to get on the presidential primary ballot for his first run for the White House.
Morgan was accused of being the mastermind behind the plot.
According to testimony from two former Board of Election officials who pled guilty, Morgan ordered Democratic officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee and Democratic Party volunteer, was accused of forging multiple pages of the Obama petitions.
“I think this helped uphold the integrity of the electoral system,” the prosecutor, Stan Levco told reporters.
“Their verdict of guilt is not a verdict against Democrats, but for honest and fair elections,” he said.
The scheme was hatched in January of 2008, according to affidavits from investigators who cite former Board of Registration worker Lucas Burkett, who told them he was in on the plan at first, but then became uneasy and quit. He waited three years before telling authorities about it, but if revelations about any forgeries were raised during the election, the petitions could have been challenged during the contest. A candidate who did not qualify with enough legitimate signatures at the time, could have been bounced from the ballot.
The case raise questions about whether in 2008, then candidate Obama actually submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the primary ballot.
“I think had they been challenged successfully, he probably would not have been on the ballot,” Levco told Fox News.
Under state law, presidential candidates need to qualify for the primary ballots with 500 signatures from each of the state’s nine congressional districts. Indiana election officials say that in St. Joseph County, which is the 2nd Congressional district, the Obama campaign qualified with 534 signatures; Clinton’s camp had 704.
Prosecutors say that in President Obama’s case, nine of the petition pages were apparently forged. Each petition contains up to 10 names, making a possible total of 90 names, which, if faked, could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit required to qualify. Prosecutors say 13 Clinton petitions were apparently forged, meaning up to 130 possibly fake signatures. Even if 130 signatures had been challenged, it would have still left Mrs. Clinton with enough signatures to meet the 500 person threshold.
Levco said a total of “100 to 200” signatures had been forged on Obama’s and Clinton’s petitions.
An Indiana State Police investigator said in court papers that the agency examined the suspect Obama petitions and “selected names at random from each of the petition pages and contacted those people directly. We found at least one person (and often multiple people) from each page who confirmed that they had not signed” petitions “or given consent for their name and/or signature to appear.”
Numerous voters told Fox News that they never signed the petitions.
“That’s not my signature,” Charity Rorie, a mother of four, told us when we showed her the Obama petition with her name and signature. She was stunned, saying that it “absolutely” was a fake.
Charity told Fox News that her husband’s entry was also a forgery, and that they have never been contacted by investigators or any authorities looking into the scandal.
“It’s scary, it’s shocking. It definitely is illegal,” she told us.
Robert Hunter, Jr. told Fox news that his name was faked, too.
“I did not sign for Barack Obama,” he told us. As he examined the Obama petition in his hands, Hunter pointed out that “I always put ‘Junior’ after my name, every time…there’s no ‘Junior’ there
Even a former Democratic Governor of Indiana, Joe Kernan, told Fox News that his name was forged.
“This is a bitter sweet moment for free and fair elections,” observed Ryan Nees, the Indiana born Yale “University senior who first exposed the scheme in the independent political newsletter, Howey Politics Indiana and South Bend Tribune.
Nees said the multiple guilty verdicts were “bitter, because a five-person conspiracy succeeded in illegally placing two presidential candidates on the ballot, but sweet because they were exposed, tried for their crimes, and convicted.”
Nees previously told Fox News that the fraud was clearly evident, “because page after page of signatures are all in the same handwriting,” and that nobody raised any red flags “because election workers in charge of verifying their validity were the same people faking the signatures.”

Read “Jury: Fraud put Obama on ’08 ballot” at https://www.wnd.com/2013/04/jury-fraud-put-obama-on-08-ballot/
WHEN are we going to see the fraudster and usurper in chief Obama fully recognized as being a crook in a court of law? WHEN?!!!
KEEP FIGHTING THE EVIL FRAUDSTER OBAMA UNTIL YOU ARE FULLY VINDICATED ON ALL THE FACTS THAT YOU HAVE AGAINST THIS CROOK IN CHIEF, HUSSEIN OBAMA.

As with Mitch McConnell, surely these two are in compromised positions, knowing that if they enforce the law, some tawdry newsbit about their lives will be made public or exposed to shame them.
When Congressmen and women tell Beck they have been threatened with 20 years of prison for divulging the truth about the Junta in DC, is it hard to imagine that highly placed judges might also fear retribution?

You could probably reopen your original case up there now and get a ruling in your favor.
The only problem is that a bell rang over 5 years ago.
Can you check to see if this happened in 2012? If it happened in 2012, then you could keep him off of the ballot. You should refile your case and prosecute him in Indiana.
April 27th, 2013 @ 5:41 am
Mrs. Taitz, I believe the Judge was being facetious. He knows thier are so many COMPLICIT in this Crime that you could never name all of them on a complaint. I for one, am thinking much smaller, but VERY MUCH as effective. The ruling in Indiana gives EVERY CITIZEN in America, an OPEN DOOR to Sue the Democrat Party in thier respective State. Hit them in the Pocket Book!!!! That they will NOTICE!

AG Eric Holder orders Boston Bomber #2 should have his Miranda rights read to him – the FBI was SHOCKED since they were only 16 hours into their investigation. Suspect then clams up. A first year law student would have figured that out. Forget that avenue – the head of the snake doesn’t care about the law or the truth.
Holder had to shut Bomber #2 up because his boss didn’t want the truth to come out – he did NOT act alone. It is not coincidence that this Saudi national was at the finish line at that exact moment that the bomb went off (the race is 4 hours long – what are the odds?)
Yesterday – Holder says that illegal immigrants have civil rights. OMG – What kind of civil rights do they have? I am 100% totally sick and tired of this. Food stamps to children of illegals, spending out the wazoo, complicit judges, cover-ups, amnesty for everyone (You have got to be kidding me; we can’t afford to support the citizens that are freeloading on taxpayers now), Obamacare expenses (except for those who work in Washington.) I AM DONE WITH ALL OF THIS.
I have written time and time again and I get a reply on the same form letters that many of your folks here have gotten – almost word for word.
I hear on the news – why won’t BO say “Islamic terrorist?” Duh!!! Even my kids have figured that out – because he is Muslim and sides with them. I wanted to throw up the day that he went to church on Easter. Talk about hypocritical.
Orly – look at the background on Malcolm X – he changed his name and identity 3 times.
That group was (and is) very familiar with becoming someone different than who they really are and handling superb cover-ups.
Barack Sr is obviously not B.O.’s biological father, which I am sure you have figured out by now – Genes don’t like and I have never seen such a strong father/son resemblance there. Even the same body build (tall and lean, narrow shoulders) and the toothy grin is the same.
So how does this figure into the whole picture? Where did Malcolm go in the 60’s? What Islamic connections were made? Who would have wanted to help him take down our country and would have later helped his son with money for school, etc.
Can your skip tracer pull info from New York, llinois? 1959 birth certificates? It looks like you have written to get Social Security records – We know how that will go, but we can hope.
Forgive me if I asking stupid questions, but I, like so many of us cannot sit back and watch this country go down the tubes.
April 27th, 2013 @ 8:51 am
we do not have any evidence of Obama being related to Malcolm X
April 27th, 2013 @ 8:53 am
what is the basis of suig the Dem party in your state? In Indiana they were sued by the District Attorney, not by citizens and there was evidence of forgery by the Indiana Dem officials, we do not have such evidence in other states
April 27th, 2013 @ 10:01 am
Mrs. Taitz, in all do respect is’nt “Fraud” still “Fraud”? Whether it was in Indiana or not, it Effected The National Election. Did it not?
April 27th, 2013 @ 10:06 am
Just as Nancy Pelosi and The DEMOCRATIC PARTY Forged the Certificate of Nomination for ALL 50 States. This in itself is a Crime against The populace, ANYTHING to get Obama/Soetoro in The Peoples House.
April 27th, 2013 @ 10:22 am
Orly – I am sure there is no actual evidence the B.O. is related to Malcolm X except the fact that they look identical, same facial expressions and body build. Just file it in your personal memory book. It may point to something else down the line.
Thanks for doing what you can to fight the tyranny going on.

Was there a DA in the courtroom? Isn’t he/she obligated to persue possible crimes in progress? Shouldn’t have that judge picked up his “batphone” and notified the proper authorities? This HAS to be brought before a grand jury, it’s the only option left. Sheriff Joe has been sitting on credible evidence, reasonable suspicion, and probable cause, for almost a year now, without filing a criminal complaint, that seems like obstruction of justice. Eric the gun runner Holder is just a flat out conflict of interest.

We do have the fact that the Democratic Party in every State place him on the ballot without fully vetting him.This seems to be a prime case for a Class Action suit against the Democratic for damages in every State as well as nation wide.

So many Guilty person’s involved. Pretty much the whole democratic Party should be rounded up and Incarcerated for Life. As Far as The Republicans they are about 80 % Just as bad. Definitely Lock up Both Bush Sr and Jr. Wicked Criminals and Traitors to America
April 27th, 2013 @ 7:05 pm
Orly, if you will tax your memory for a moment, recall that I tried the sheriffs across many states, in addition to the president of the Sheriff’s Association and got not one response. I personally believe that the sheriffs are not complicit, only scared to death. Moreover, we’re gonna realize some day, that a large number of people believe you and your efforts to appeal to our legal system, but then discovered repeatedly that cowardice exists in large numbers in the Senate and House. If the strong and high ranking military officers do not see the only way to rid this country of the Obama/Soros cartel, then the battle is over. Many of us call it silver war, but it is not that, A huge element of the military must take control of the WH and carry Obama off to prison. I have been convinced of that now for almost a year.
Many of us have no idea what the trip to Burma was all about, since we had not dealt with that country in decades. My guess is some sort of distribution of the 6 trillion dollars was being planned and put in place.
Note: Notice how Obama has become so arrogantly confident, he is taking all kinds of chances. And we believed America’s Federal Judiciary was a solid way to approach this acutely dangerous problem.
Since several members of the CIA are convinced that Obama set up the Al Qaeda raid in Benghazi and then took off for one day. But the Congress people refused to open the books on that one too.
Orly, I cannot believe how you punched and pounded for all this time, because you felt it was your duty to keep punching. History will remember you Orly, as the American who gave almost everything to save us from tyranny. I must speak truly and say you are the most dedicated American since 1776. And it is now time to present you to those other Americans who have never had the honor of meeting you.
Orly, you are the best American who ever came into my life.

Time to tell America that Obama was born in Thailand and is a sleeper spy for Nazi Germany destroying Amrica. Google ObamaBornThailand for the travel photos of his recent trip to Thailand to visit his father. He is bastard son mother unknown. He would have a Thai birth certificate. Go for it. Put Thailand into the conversation and have some fun.

Since case 12A606, reviewed under Conference by the SCOTUS, has apparently been left twisting in the wind, and has not even been removed from the list of Orders, what recourse do the citizens have to uphold the Constitution, when its main guardians act in such a corrupt manner ?

You can try these people and think it over very carefully before you send them anything and they’re not going to concern themselves with an SS# so much, but wrong doing’s and corruption by elected and or appointed officials and when and where federal crosses over into their jurisdiction I’m not sure, but I think it would when the U.S. attorney is working with the state attorney to screw the people over it falls under the state grand jury jurisdiction.
You may also look up American Jurisprudence Book 16: Constitutional Law Section 16Am Jur 2d.
16Am Jur 2d., Sec. 97:
16Am Jur 2d., Sec 117:
Owen Vs. Independence, 100 Supreme Court Reports. 1398 (1982) “Officers of the court have no immunity when violating constitutional right, from liability” (When any public servant violates your rights they do so at their own peril.)
Also the court lost jurisdiction if it does not follow due-process.
