Former Dem congressman so dedicated to the Party that he's going to prison

Michale "Ozzie" Myers of Philadelphia was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison on Tuesday for stuffing ballot boxes, according to the DOJ. The dedicated Democrat served almost two terms in the House of Representatives from 1976 to 1980, representing what was then Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District. 

Myers' motto apparently is: "If you can't win, cheat." He copped to orchestrating the fraudulent stuffing of ballot boxes in PA elections each year from 2014 to 2018, the DOJ reports and worked with election judges Marie Beren and Domenick Demuro in his fraud operation, according to Fox News. 

In May 2020, Demuro admitted to taking bribes from Myers, and Beren “pleaded guilty to the scheme in October 2021.”

Myers arranged ballot stuffing in favor of Democratic candidates who had paid him “consulting fees,” according to the Justice Department, as per Western Journal.com.

The corrupt election workers would add ballots in favor of Myers’ clients and proceed to certify the compromised results.

But Myers hasn't learned from his past, as this isn't the first time he has been incarcerated for corruption. This Democratic dickwad did a three year stretch in con college for accepting bribes from FBI agents posing as wealthy Arab sheikhs seeking political favors in the so-called “Abscam” scandal, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He was expelled from the House in 1980 for this scandal and thus became one of the few representatives in Congress ever to be kicked to the curb.

Prosecutors are correctly pointing to Myers’ crimes as poison to election confidence in Philadelphia.

“Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy,” United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero said in the Justice Department news release. “If even one vote has been illegally cast or if the integrity of just one election official is compromised, it diminishes faith in process.”

FBI agent Jacqueline Maguire was even tougher on Myers.

“Through his actions, Ozzie Myers pointedly disdained both the will of Philadelphia voters and the rule of law. He’s now a federal felon twice over, heading back behind bars, with time to consider the great consequence of free and fair elections.”

Yeah, but he's only doing a deuce and a half--he should have gotten buck rogers time--no less than a nickel. 

Myers was remanded immediately into federal custody after his Tuesday sentencing, with U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond expressing his belief that the corrupt politician had learned nothing 40 years after his first federal prison bid, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Myers’ son briefly interrupted proceedings in an attempt to “say goodbye” to his POS father before U.S Marshals prepared to haul him away, according to the Inquirer.

By the way, had Myers been a Republican, the opinion expressed here would be the same. Elections should be sacred in the minds of all Americans. This is a great example of why in-person voting is the best method of all.
