Attention we don't need

Ohio, Alabama and other states have been receiving some very unwanted attention this year due the General Election next week.

National media reported that Alabama has several counties where voter registration exceed 100 percent of the adult residents who live there. Thus, there is an investigation.

Back here in Ohio, the same media reports pointed to a house full of alleged out-of-state residents who all used the same Columbus address to vote absentee in the Ohio general election. Then they returned back to their own states. There is no report of any criminal charges being filed as of yet.

Voter fraud is voter fraud, and it should be prosecuted. It should not matter if those involved are Republican or Democrat nor whom the Secretary of State is at the time.

This year the Presidential Election is promising to be as ugly as it was in 2002 and with all the other problems facing this country no one needs this.

The one thing all the investigations into alleged voter fraud did bring to the surface is that in Ohio it is now legal for those convicted of a felony crime to vote as long as they are no longer incarcerated at the time of the election.

This election is clearly a learning experience.
