http://www.azcentral.com/community/pinal/articles/2012/07/25/20120725pinal-supervisor-hopeful-enright-quits.html?sf5263754=1A Pinal County supervisor candidate has withdrawn from the race in the wake of voter-fraud allegations involving a former companion who, records show, has continued to vote by absentee ballot in the five years since her death.
John Enright, 66, had been seeking the Republican nomination for county supervisor of District 5, an area that includes Apache Junction and Gold Canyon.
He withdrew from the race Wednesday in a letter to Pinal County Elections Director Steve Kizer. In a written statement issued hours later through his attorney, Enright said he entered the race "wanting to bring a voice to Pinal County government" but was leaving it "for several reasons, including an almost year-long battle with cancer."
His statement made no mention of the scandal unleashed in an anonymous, undated letter sent several weeks ago to the Pinal County Recorders Office. As recently as this year, the letter alleged, someone had been filling out and mailing in absentee ballots addressed to a woman who died on Feb. 3, 2007. The woman, Sheila Nassar, and Enright lived together at the time of her death.

(11,238 posts)And this numnut running for office thought nobody would find out? I like how he says he doesn't know who's responsible for the fraudulent ballots sent to HIS HOUSE and sent back by his dead LIVE-IN girlfriend. I hope someone follows up on this story. It's a beaut.

Pinal County is just full of this kind of ugly stupid shit. Ought to be interesting to see what the local Apache Junction News has to say about it next week; editor Ed Barker is a solid Dem and his wife Robin is on the city council. Hmm, I may check my calendar and drop in on the next Dem event. . . .
