N.H. Widow Shocked By Ploy At Polls


A grieving New Hampshire widow said she was stunned to learn her beloved husband’s identity was used for a political gotcha — just 10 days after his death.

“That’s awful,” Rachel Groux said. “Why should they use his name? They shouldn’t use anybody’s name — alive or deceased.”

Activist filmmaker James O’Keefe secretly recorded video showing his operative using Roger Groux’s name and address to obtain a Republican ballot at Manchester polls Tuesday. The U.S. Navy veteran died Dec. 31 at an assisted living home. His family held funeral services Monday, his widow said. “Oh my God, I know what he would say, ‘Call the cops, call the police,’ ” Rachel Groux said.

What a moron this women is... They did this to show that there is voter fraud and how easy it is to just go in and says yes twice and your voting with someone else's name...

There would be no reason to do it if the man were alive, or if you had to show ID... PERIOD!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't go so far as to call the woman a moron. Her beloved husband's name had been used to make a political point less than a week after he died after all.

She is obviously older and probably doesn't understand her husband name was not used in vain. I would be more upset/angry how someone could have voted in his place using his name.
