Like those that didn't purposefully commit voter fraud, but were jailed, like the exconvicts that hadn't paid all their fines.

2. Good question. She obviously knew exactly what she was doing, unlike those "friends" she "helped"

And if these "friends" were immigrants who didn't read English, she cast their ballots for TFG??

3. The one year slap on the wrist usually comes for ballot harvesting

but this bird committed outright forgeries.. I think we might hope for more than a single year. She will be a felon, which means she won't be able to cast her own votes after this.

Her name is also going to be mud in the Vietnamese community. I doubt anyone will trust her as far as they can thrw a car by one pinkie after these stunts.

Mr. Taylor will undoubtedly divorce her, like that's going to be any deodorant at all for him.

4. That's true, she signed others' names! And she had to know that what she was doing was illegal

Did she think that who she was married to would shield her from prosecution??

she'd be blamed for the whole thing, sucks to be her.

That's why I think she'll get a longer sentence and why he'll divorce her. She's just not going to be useful any more.

6. Do you think he knew or it was his idea? I wouldn't put it past any current Republican

7. Maybe not at first, which is why he was unindicted

It was probably along the lines of "They're my people, they'll vote like I say." What did he know and when did he know it? Not a clue.

However, at some point, he had to know, when the complaints started to roll in.

9. Yeah, and there's no telling when he figured out it was fraud

and was onboard with it, they're immigrants, they can't speak good English and won't complain.

He needs to be booted.

10. That's the thing, they cast immigrants' votes for TFG. I attended a protest over his treatment of immigrants.

11. Is it just me or does it seem most of the "voter fraud" the repukes are worried about comes from the right wing?nt
