(From the diaries. While the GOP may promote those who engage in voter fraud, they don't always escape unscathed -- kos)
Last week there were many postings of outrage that several Republican operatives involved in an absentee ballot scandal in South Dakota were quickly wisked away to work on the GOP get-out-the-vote effort in Ohio.

This afternoon the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported that 5 of the 6 staffers involved in the absentee ballot caper have been indicted. Two of the 5, Nathan Mertz and Todd Schleckeway, are currently working in Ohio. Another staffer who was reported to have been sent to Ohio, Eric Fahrendorf was also indicted, but the Ohio Republican Party claims he wasn't moved to Ohio.

Larry Russell, ringleader of the absentee ballot caper, was also moved to Ohio, but there is no word yet on his fate.

At the time this first surfaced last week, there was almost no media coverage in Ohio. The only big paper that covered the story, the Dispatch, used a hack reporter who swallowed the Republican spin whole and tut-tutted the concerns raised by the Ohio Democratic Party about these staffers presence in Ohio.

Keep an eye out for these hombres...they will probably be working as GOP vote "challengers" on the 2nd.
Call the Sheriff and have them arrested.

1. Do you know of any pictures

...of these potential felons? How would we be able to recognize them?

2. Good point...we'll see if the Sheriff can get photos...

I'd LOVE to post them in all the precincts under the caption:

"GOP OPERATIVES WANTED FOR VOTER FRAUD"
