Judge Of Election No Longer Last Word by Joe Shaheeli Sixty-five-year-old Philadelphia Judge of Election Dianah Gregory never thought she would be serving 15 months of probation for a voting-machine violation. But she is doing that now as the result of that sentence given her by Judge Michael Erdos. She was charged with an election-code violation of tampering with a voting machine. She was also ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, and perform 15 hours of community service. On election day Nov. 5, 2013, Gregory hand-wrote her name as a write-in candidate for Judge of Elections on both voting machines at the polling place for the 28th Ward, 1st Division, located at 3100 Lehigh Avenue. Gregory’s actions caused a delay in voting for over an hour. Voting could not re-
sume until Officials from the County Board of Elections were able to clean the voting machines. After a lengthy investigation by the District Attorney’s Special Investigations Unit, Gregory was arrested on Nov. 20. She entered on open guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge of Tampering with a Voting Machine on May 27, 2014.
