"Sean Stevens, a polling place worker in Monroe County, PA faces felony voter fraud charges for reaching into voting booths and changing people’s votes on Election Day.

Stevens, seen here [Link] in a video taken on November 4, 2008, set up a bench behind the electronic machines at the polling place he was overseeing and strolled back and forth encouraging people to vote for Barack Obama and actually reaching down and changing votes.

According to County Detective Eric Kerchner, one witness stated:

Stevens reached into the booth, looked at his selections and “selected and deselected” a number of his votes. Kerchner said when the voter went back to push the final vote selection button, he noticed his choice for president had been switched from McCain to Obama. The voter changed the vote back to McCain and completed the process.

The full report from WNEP including the election day footage can be seen here."
