On October 30th, Four Democrat Philadelphia Polling Place Officials were Indicted for Actions they took on March 21th, 2017, the Day the Special Legislative Election was held in the 197th House District.
This is the Election in which the only Candidate on the Ballot was the Republican Nominee. Both the Democratic and Green Candidates were Write-In Candidates.
The Officials are Charged with Intimidating Voters, Casting Bogus Ballots, and Certifying False Election Returns.
Lucinda Little (R) was the only Eligible Candidate filed for the 197th House District.
Freddie Ramirez (D) was Removed from the Ballot via Residency Challenge.
Democratic Party Officials then nominated Emilio Vazquez, but did so past the Filing Deadline. Commonwealth Court Judge Anne Covey Rejected efforts to see Vazquez added to the Ballot.
Green Party Candidate Cheri Honkala was also denied a spot on the Ballot after her Nomination was Submitted a Day past the Deadline.
Honkala and Vazquez both Pursued Write-In Campaigns.
On March 24th, 2017, the Philadelphia Election Board tallied the Write-In Votes and found that Vazquez had Won the Special Election.
