There was fraud!

Far too little vote fraud to tip election to Trump, AP finds

...

Donald Holz is among the five people in Wisconsin who face voter fraud charges. He said all he wanted to do was vote for Trump. But because he was still on parole after being convicted of felony drunken driving, the 63-year-old retiree was not eligible to do so. Wisconsin is not among the states that have loosened felon voting laws in recent years.

...

In southeast Pennsylvania, 72-year-old Ralph Thurman, a registered Republican, was sentenced to three years’ probation after pleading guilty to one count of repeat voting. Authorities said Thurman, after voting at his polling place, returned about an hour later wearing sunglasses and cast a ballot in his son’s name.

...

Las Vegas businessman Donald “Kirk” Hartle was among those in Nevada who raised the cry against election fraud. Early on, Hartle insisted someone had unlawfully cast a ballot in the name of his dead wife, and state Republicans seized on his story to support their claims of widespread fraud in the state. It turned out that someone had cast the ballot illegally — Hartle, himself. He agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of voting more than once in the same election.

Hartle’s attorney said the businessman, who is an executive at a company that hosted a Trump rally before the election, had accepted responsibility for his actions.

As an excuse to stomp on democracy. No detailed reporting that it was all rethuglicans.

Did Ken Paxton ever pay out that $1M to anybody?

In Florida, because of course.

Charged on 12/13/21 for voting more than once.

6. Didn't I get taught that it was illegal to intentionally pull a fire alarm when there's no fire?

Something about a full theater or something. But maybe it's legal if you're the arsonist. I know when I tell the poll workers I vote Democratic as many times as I can they always frown at me.
