    Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll get a very harsh sentence, like those people with revoked voting rights who mistakenly think they can vote with provisional ballots in good faith and get tossed in prison for years because of it, right?

    Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children.

    Keep in mind he still lost his election.

    While it’s incredibly rare for fraud to affect more than a handful of votes, the frequency with which Republicans do it isn’t a coincidence. It’s a direct result of a party that is undermining democracy at every turn and—importantly—telling its voters that the other side is going to cheat anyway.

    It’s more of the “I am able to cheat, so everyone must be cheating” Logic that gets people into trouble. Then they realize that they are the only ones cheating

      Do they?

      Either they never believed the bullshit, or they’re so completely deluded by it that they just believe it’s unfair that they are the only ones being punished when the other side “does so much worse”

      everyone who supported Trump is an unrepentant cheater and liar in the rest of their lives… that’s why they love him… he is obviously a cheater and liar, and he always gets away with it… he’s their hero, and they will never give him up… trying to reason with them will never work… they want the world to be run by the cheaters and liars…

      @HuddaBudda @FlyingSquid He didn’t win a congressional seat, but he *did* win his County Supervisor seat, which tbh in some ways is worse (big fish, little pond). His wife committed fraud in both elections, and >

    Finally found all that voter fraud the conservatives keep screaming is out there. I’m sure they’ll condemn this in the harshest of terms, right guys?

    The venn diagram between voter fraud accusators and voter fraud committers is just a fucking circle.

    The choice you all make is do you keep posting this stuff to each other or do you create an account on GAB and truth social and share the knowledge

      This is a nice sentiment, but it unfortunately doesn’t work. Have you heard of the Backfire Effect? Their worldview isn’t built upon facts, and often times, showing them evidence of how wrong their worldview is only further entrenches them.

      If you want to undo the indoctrination, look up Deep Canvasing and apply it to people you have a relationship with. Trying to point out the hypocrisy to strangers on the internet as some kind of “gotcha” only pisses people off, and then they’re reacting out of emotionalism instead of rationality.
