A Bush White House spokesman drops a bomb on CNN that nobody saw coming: Barack Obama got on the 2008 Indiana primary ballot with Frudulent signatures

AXELROD: [Mocking] "In Arizona, [Trump] hired the cyber ninjas..."

SEAT: “I’ll give you an example of where it [election fraud] has been determinative. And that’s in my home state of Indiana, Saint Joseph County. The gentleman you previously worked for, David Axelrod, Barack Obama got on the ballot because Democrats in that county submitted fraudulent ballot petition signatures. People, including the Democrat county chair, went to jail over that. Barack Obama should not have been on the primary ballot in the state of Indiana.”

KINZINGER: “But that’s not a voting issue. Like that’s something—”

PETE SEAT: “It is a voting issue because he was on the ballot and people could vote for him, and he shouldn't have been.”

AXELROD: “How did how did that get determined?”

SEAT: “It was finally exposed two years later. It went through the courts, and several people found themselves in jail. But that’s the problem. It didn’t happen. They didn’t find it before he was on the ballot. It took years after.”

Pete Seat is right. In 2013, four Indiana Democrats were convicted for forging signatures on the 2008 presidential primary petitions, and county party chair Butch Morgan went to jail for orchestrating it.

They literally copied names off old petitions, including a former governor who confirmed he never signed.

Election fraud is not a conspiracy theory. It happens, and a county chairman of a major party sat in a jail cell for it.

And he says it to Obama’s own strategist, David Axelrod, sitting three feet away.
