James Saunders, a 56-year-old former attorney for the Internal Revenue Service, did not mean to commit a crime when he cast ballots in both Cuyahoga County and Broward County, Florida, counties where he owns property and has been registered to vote since before 2009, his lawyer said during closing arguments Wednesday.

    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.

    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?

        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?

      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.”

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

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

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!
