The Ohio Republican Party has filed a formal complaint with Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. The complaint alleges that Hillary Mueri, a candidate for Ohio’s 14th congressional district, committed voter fraud. The complaint alleges that Mueri voted twice in the 2008 primaries, in both Ohio and California. The memo states that illegally voting in an election is a fourth-degree felony in Ohio. complaint:
Review of available public records from Lake County, Ohio Board of Elections and San Diego County
(California) Voter registrar shows that Hillary O’Connor Mueri (also known as Hillary Ann O’Connor, also known as
Hillary Keiser (DOB: 04/23/1977) voted in the following elections:
California: February 5, 2008, presidential primary
Ohio: March 4, 2008 Primary Election
Mueri denies knowledge of multiple voter registrations and blames Republican Party “voter suppression” tactics:
“The Ohio GOP is attacking me to distract from partisan voter purification in Ohio that is disenfranchising the people in our state who need their voices heard the most,” Mueri said in a statement. according to Cleveland.com.
Mueri is running to unseat Rep. Dave Joyce in Ohio’s 14th District. Rep. Joyce won the seat with 55 percent votes in 2018 and 62 percent in 2016. Cook Political Report, Inside Elections and Larry Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” all indicator seat as “certain” or “probably” Republican.
It is unclear at this time what the fate of the Ohio GOP complaint is, but voter fraud is a legitimate cause for complaint. Attorney General Yost is right to investigate these claims and the clear evidence of election irregularities.
