This stupid fucker voted twice in person in the same election. There’s no way to view that as an accident. He actually requested an absentee ballot be sent to Virginia, didn’t get it, and then drove down to Florida to vote after he had already voted in person in Ohio.

I’m sorry, you don’t “accidentally” vote in both Florida and in Ohio. Twice.

You know what they call people who accidentally commit felonies? Felons.

They’re sending their best and this is still what they have

This is a chicken and egg problem.

They claim there is voter fraud, so they vote twice to counteract the voter fraud, which leads to claims of voter fraud.

I mean I guess it's counteracting the vote fraud if they get caught and stripped of eligibility...

Except one side blames the entire other side for voter fraud with little to no evidence, while the other side just finds the individuals who commited voter fraud and blames them using the standard procedures.

In Delaware, they are wanting to let companies vote. If you own a company amd lived there, could you vote twice?

[–] pandacoder@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can't say as I'm surprised that anyone would propose such corrupt legislation, but I am still disappointed.

Wait why does this guy have a public defender? Is he that bad of a lawyer that he can't afford a lawyer?

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, he clearly is, but there's an old saying that goes something like a lawyer defending himself has a fool for a client.

The picture of his lawyer in the thumbnail says it all. "ooooh, I wish you didn't just say that."

@YoBuckStopsHere
Yes, your Honor, I accidently stabbed him 11 times!

[–] ruck_feddit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

He fell on my knife! A lot!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Lock him up. Aren't they talking about the death penalty for stuff like this... Tired of these clowns.

Making Attorneys Get Attorneys. Although this one wasn't quite as directly Trump's fault.

Of course it's some asshole from Shaker Heights.
