The woman told a sheriff’s lieutenant in an interview that she filled out her mother’s ballot after her mother’s death, according to a probable cause statement filed with the district court. The statement said the woman was an “ardent” Trump supporter who had wanted to vote for him before she died.

    Is someone keeping a tally of how many people went to prison for this guy so far? I can’t imagine anyone going to prison for Biden, it’s just so crazy.

      There is a tiktok that I’m too lazy to go find but basically it boils down to Trump FANS vs. Biden Voters.

      Trump fans are willing to break the law (read: not go to jail) because they believe they are above the law. The law is for punishing other people.

      Biden/Harris voters are not fanatics, at least generally speaking.

        I mean, it’s actually kind of impressive how Republicans are just willing to do this. People did it for Nixon, Reagan, and to a whole new level with Trump.

          More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.
