Source: Arizona Republic
A Pinal County supervisor candidate has withdrawn from the race in the wake of voter-fraud allegations involving a former companion who, records show, has continued to vote by absentee ballot in the five years since her death.
John Enright, 66, had been seeking the Republican nomination for county supervisor of District 5, an area that includes Apache Junction and Gold Canyon.
He withdrew from the race Wednesday in a letter to Pinal County Elections Director Steve Kizer. In a written statement issued hours later through his attorney, Enright said he entered the race "wanting to bring a voice to Pinal County government" but was leaving it "for several reasons, including an almost year-long battle with cancer."
His statement made no mention of the scandal unleashed in an anonymous, undated letter sent several weeks ago to the Pinal County Recorder's Office. As recently as this year, the letter alleged, someone had been filling out and mailing in absentee ballots addressed to a woman who died on Feb. 3, 2007. The woman, Sheila Nassar, and Enright lived together at the time of her death.

1.) absentee votes don't count?
2.) this was different?
3.) it happened for 5yrs so it was past practice?
I mean after all the guy dropped out so perhaps he should get a medal or maybe a lump of elephant dung, because he is a good RePUG.

I've heard Pinal County called Penal Colony because the number one industry is prisons.

(12,769 posts)Hard to keep track of the rampant voter fraud of these Republicans. Actually, that would be true if you include all the voting machine fraudulent votes.
Thanks for the information.
It's (almost) always a Republican.
Those 5 votes will earn him up to 5 years Fed time. Hope he enjoyed 'em! It's like 'welfare', only for rich white folks!
