On March 22, a Pennsylvania jury returned guilty verdicts on some charges against former Democratic legislative employees, and a former state legislator, for using state resources on campaigns to help Democratic candidates.

The jury did not convict any of the defendants for using state resources to bring petition challenges to either Ralph Nader in 2004, or to the Green Party’s statewide ticket in 2006. The foreman of the jury told a reporter after the verdict, “Every Democrat across the state was doing this (working on the petition challenges). The prosecutor wanted to single out just Mr. Veon and his office and make it seem like they were running the whole thing. We knew better.” See this story. Thanks to Larry Otter for the link.
