CBS News in Cleveland<\/a> posted an article yesterday about Melowese Richardson of Madisonville, Ohio,<\/a> a former Ohio<\/a> poll worker who was convicted of voter fraud<\/a> after having voting<\/a> multiple times for various family members. After serving less than a year of her five-year sentence, Ms. Richardson has been released from prison and put on five years probation.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Melowese Richardson of Madisonville was released Tuesday after her attorney says she gave him permission to reveal that she has bipolar disorder<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her attorney, David Singleton, shared Richardson\u2019s medical records with Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After reviewing the case, Deters asked Judge Robert Ruehlman to allow Richardson to be released.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old Richardson previously told a TV station<\/a> that she had voted multiple times for President Barack Obama<\/a> on behalf of herself and family members. She had said she had no intent to commit voter fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two things here that I simply don’t understand. First of all, what in the world does bipolar disorder have to do with committing voter fraud? Second of all, how can a poll worker not know that voting multiple times is committing voter fraud?<\/p>\n
