Election worker pleads 'not guilty' to ballot tampering charges

Yeah, right....not my fault...again...she knew what she was doing just freakin' take ownership and quit making yourself look like a victim.

I've had to take prednisone for my sinus and while a bit charged-up I didn't go park in the handicap lane or run a red light....gesh!

 Not guilty by reason of stupidity. Sorry, not buying it, you knew EXACTLY what you were doing.

The stories seems to be somewhat conflicting........

 

First, she, herself, said the Prednisone is the cause of the problem. She said she was taking it for her sinus infection. She went on to say "anyone taking Prednisone" would know that it messes with your cognitive thinking. Now, we see that her attorney is suggesting mental illness may be the cause.

 

I've taken Prednisone and undoubtedly, it is the WORST tasting drug I've ever had to take. It IS a steroid and NO, it did NOT affect my cognitive thinking. I cannot speak on behalf of anyone else taking this drug.

 

Wish she and her attorney would come up with a better, more viable excuse for her behavior and action.

Whers kreb, timmy, last boy...thought they'd be bringing up the REAL cause...wait...benhgazi !!! D'OH !

"is concerned about her own mental health."

"what her mental state was at the time"

"She's confused"

"there are some legitimate mental health issues"

 

Party affiliation ?? I rest my case your Honor !!

 

She is playing the 'whine' and mental health cards for all their worth.

This woman sure knows how to put the tears forward at just the right moment.. She can take her Republican loving thieving loser ass to an Island and live.. We don't need cheats like here here !

She looked younger when she smiled. Now looks like a hagatha...

Her "wheel of fortune" multi-selective replies are a bit hard to follow...

Lemme get this straight. 1. She apologized. 2. She didn't mean to. 3. Ergo, she is not guilty. That about sum it up?

"...she did not intentionally alter the ballots and is concerned about her own mental health..."

 

Riiiight, Uh huh. Oh, I so totally believe that.Yeah...(Hee hee, ho ho, LMAO!)

 

She's obviously not responsible for anything she says or does, so that would leave serious doubt that she hasn't done this kind of thing in the past.

 

(Whispering) But I think it's a conspiracy. (Shhhh!) ;-)

Seriously, they are going for the "I was disturbed" at that moment defense. Now we have to tie up our court systems with this trash.

Lightening may have hit her umbrella on election day and caused a jam-up in her brain cells.

 

Court should find out if she has a hard time finding a parking space in NW Portland.

"I am a zombie and I didn't mean to do it!"

First she said it was her mental health problems. Now she's saying it's her sinus infection.  If she is mentally ill she shouldn't be working for elections. If she was physically ill she shouldn't be working elections. The fact is, she tampered with ballots and that's a felony. She voted more than once herself! She's a weirdo but she's also breaking the law. 

I'll ask again... if she is/was that mentally disturbed, why was she working on a ballot processing job..?    Is this the first time she's ever had something happen like this?    As I understand it, those workers are not allowed to take pens or pencils of their own into their work areas... so it seems that there must have been some thought process - something she had in mind - when she took a pencil to her work station, then used it on those ballots...

Very, very strange, indeed...  

Oh for crying in the night! They just updated the picture. How pathetic is that.

Listen to enough political rhetoric and anyone would go a bit insane.

 

I hope the DA doesn't make any deals with her. And if this works and she can prove that she has a mental illness that allowed her to function normally all the way up until she was caught, then I say she's dangerous and needs to be kept in an institution. Who knows what other rare and unusual breaks downs she may have.

Do I hear another "Twinkie Defense" in the works?  Sheesh!

It's being reported that she had access to thousands of ballots. She alledgedly tampered with six. This whole thing seems odd.

Poll workers in NY where telling people that parts of the ballot empty to vote democratic because supposedly they can't be left unfilled or the machine would reject them.

At least those same meds did not affect her driving on her way home that day.

"She's not really guilty, because she's messed up in the head."  Yeah, because it takes a really messed up person to try tamper with ballots.  When are these stupid excuses going to end?  Committing a crime with a purpose is now worse than committing crimes because you like to?  I'd trust myself around people with criminals with motives before I trust those that commit crimes for no reason.  At least there's a chance to reason with the first kind.  But, noooo, Oregon wants to make all of the psychopaths into victims of their uncontrollable desires.  Stupid from the top down, Oregon's new motto.

Not guilty by reason of stupidity.

Yeah, she should be crying.  The votes that had to be tossed due to her manipulation of them mean that constintuients had their votes cast aside. 

I don't know why they have plea hearings. Every defense attorney pleads the client not guilty. They could still have the smoking gun in teir hand and it would be not guilty.
