Republicans caught in voter fraud in Virginia


The alleged signature forgeries continue to pile up in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, where paid campaign staffers for Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) have now been credibly accused of forging at least four dead voters’ signatures, and dozens of others’, on petitions to get an independent candidate on the ballot.

The signature forgery scheme was an apparent effort to split the Democratic vote in half by getting the the Democratic Party’s 2016 nominee for the district, Shaun Brown, on the ballot as an independent candidate beside the party’s 2018 nominee, former Navy commander Elaine Luria.

I just sent her some funds to help her out.

Scott Taylor is one of those "ex-Navy Seal" pricks, who think the fact they served in the military entitles them to "lead" in politics...see Duncan Hunter, Tom Cotton, etc., for examples of useless pricks that have used their military service as a crutch.

Not an ounce of decency amongst them.

5. Some good news. I live in Rep. Tom Macarthur's district, traditionally always votes R.

Democratic challenger Andy Kim is running neck and neck with MacArthur. This weekend I received a vote by mail application from the local Dem party which made me hopeful. I have 6 votes in my household and will make sure all 6 vote Dem. Also, the letter with the vote by mail
Application came from a large community of seniors which surprised me.

And since we commit lots of other crimes too, we also think America should build a Bigly Wall!"

10. PLEASE! It is ELECTION fraud, not voter fraud. The voters are not committing the fraud. Semantics
