Election Worker Pleads Guilty To Intimidating Voters Who Wanted To Vote For Non-Democratic Candidates

A North Philadelphia election worker has pleaded guilty to election fraud during a 2017 special election for a state House seat in the city.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro says 59-year-old Thurman George, a machine inspector at Poll 43-7, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to frauds by election officers.

George, along with three other election workers, was accused of harassment and intimidation against voters who wanted to vote for candidates of their choice, but not the candidate being pushed by the city’s Democratic Party machine.

Minority inspector Calvin Mattox previously pleaded guilty to not meeting the qualifications of election officers for living outside the district in which he was working, while Dolores Shaw, the judge of election at Poll 43-7, received an accelerated rehabilitative disposition for compromising the local election board.

A pre-trial conference for Wallace Hill, a bilingual translator, has been scheduled for June 6.

  1. thats a world wide occurrence and almost standard practice in some electorates where one party has been safely ensconced for years.,especially in isolated communities.The pressures go beyond the election booth too and often are implied or passive aggressive bullying .

  2. we knew pennsylvania’s philadelphia was corrupt…when it came up 110% for demoncraps and 0% for republicans. then we now have democrat governor who allowed the voting areas to be changed without proper oversight.
