Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The venn diagram between voter fraud accusators and voter fraud committers is just a fucking circle.
Don't worry, I'm sure she'll get a very harsh sentence, like those people with revoked voting rights who mistakenly think they can vote with provisional ballots in good faith and get tossed in prison for years because of it, right?
I bet she had a strong opinion on those.
Well that’s the thing, something this massive hasn’t happened before. At least hasn’t happened before and successfully prosecuted.
Going by guidelines, she’s looking at two and a half centuries of prison. How sentencing will actually go, who knows? There’s literally nothing to base it on.
I think he was referencing this case and the ridiculous sentence she received for making a good faith mistake, and the general trend to give harsher sentences to black folks and democrats for this. (Second link contrasts against other cases)
Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children.
Keep in mind he still lost his election.
While it’s incredibly rare for fraud to affect more than a handful of votes, the frequency with which Republicans do it isn’t a coincidence. It’s a direct result of a party that is undermining democracy at every turn and—importantly—telling its voters that the other side is going to cheat anyway.
It's more of the "I am able to cheat, so everyone must be cheating" Logic that gets people into trouble. Then they realize that they are the only ones cheating
everyone who supported Trump is an unrepentant cheater and liar in the rest of their lives.. that's why they love him.. he is obviously a cheater and liar, and he always gets away with it.. he's their hero, and they will never give him up.. trying to reason with them will never work.. they want the world to be run by the cheaters and liars..
@HuddaBudda @FlyingSquid He didn't win a congressional seat, but he *did* win his County Supervisor seat, which tbh in some ways is worse (big fish, little pond). His wife committed fraud in both elections, and >
"Jeremy Taylor is an unindicted co-conspirator in his wife’s voter fraud scheme. Kim Taylor was found guilty of 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration, and 23 counts of fraudulent voting."
