THE VILLAGES, Fla. – A fourth resident of The Villages has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into voter fraud.

Barnes was later released from custody on a $2,000 bond, records show.



Court records detailing Barnes’s alleged crime were not immediately available.

1. COVID Villages Video Game -- Role of COVID virus sending mutations to various residents.

.

You pick their level of assholeness, comorbidities, age, accessibility, and probability for them to spread to others.

Various factors determine whether a contact results in contraction and further decline and death.

Extra bonus points if you nail a member of the Homeowners Association or other high-ranking resident.


Just spit-balling here.

2. Surprised there are not more MAGATS doing this.

This is something that should be tracked more closely. I have known Libertarians that have argued with me that it should be allowed because they own property in multiple jurisdictions.

12. I bet there are many more.

They just haven't been caught yet.

3. This is why republicans can so easily

accuse Democrats of voter fraud. It is because it is clearly something they would do in order to win. Cheaters think everyone else is a cheater as well.

4. This guy has no political party affiliation

A group that grows every day. I’m not fond of NPA’s myself. It makes it impossible for parties to campaign.

[PatSeg]

5. And I've found that it is often a ruse

Many of them know what party they will vote for, but won't admit it.

[jimfields33]

6. Yep. I agree with you.

15. Serving as a canvasser...

during the course of several elections in Ohio, I've found that most voters registered as "independents" embrace a lot of the conservative dogma, lean R, and usually vote that way.

[PatSeg]

26. Yes and I find very few Democrats

these days who might consider voting republican or republicans who sometimes vote Democratic. I don't think there are many people who are truly Independent or "undecided", just unwilling to reveal what they are.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Not true.

Political parties have the tools to identify party affiliation even when there is no party registration. It is done here in Indiana. We have closed primary elections requiring anyone wanting to vote to select one or the other. And the info is public.

I checked Florida and it also has closed primaries. And based on what I read it would only require a person to register by the deadline for a primary to be eligible and then change it back after voting. That doesn't mean this person votes in the primaries. But if he did there would be a record.

10. It's always projection on their part.

And what they are really stating is what THEY would do in a given situation...like when they compare homosexuality to bestiality...and give away their own secret desires in the process.

[PatSeg]

28. Exactly

Their own deep-seated self loathing is frequently expressed openly in the way they attack others. Of course, there is also the attitude that "everyone does it", but when they do it, it is justified somehow.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. It is their way of compensating and

that psychologically allows them to justify doing corrupt things........

Exact same thing with the Evangelicals.......their religion makes them feel righteous and enables them to do whatever they wish....
even commit felonies..........

To the Republicans, the end justifies the means............

[PatSeg]

27. Yes, "The end justifies the means"

They are really good at rationalizing their behavior, though they tend to be very obvious.

8. Trump literally urged them to do this

He said over and over before the election that he wanted his fans to vote in person and by mail. Explicitly told them to do this.

9. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

Give him the full five years.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Nail them. Criminal penalties are harsh for voter fraud, all thanks to republican lawmakers.

Make them eat their own ... serves them right.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Will they lose their right to vote because of this?

[Emile]

14. Probably, but in Florida that probably only applies to ones who vote Democratic.

[Kingofalldems]

16. That place is hardcore Trumpsters.

Can't believe anyone would claim the guy voted for Biden.

[Vinca]

18. 2 votes for Biden . . . right?

[AllaN01Bear]

20. vote regulary and often folks . here is votor fraud .

[Initech]

21. Lock them up!

[George II]

22. I just recently found out that my best friend in college, who I knew was right leaning...

Recently sold his house on Long Island and moved down to the Villages.

Very disappointing. But then again I haven't seen him since the summer of 1973.

24. TFG supporters are the ones committing voter fraud
