A black woman (Crystal Mason) in Texas who didn't realize she was ineligible to vote got 5 years in prison for illegally voting.

North Carolina Republican Mark Harris cheated to win an election, got caught, and he gets to run again.

2. The NC Attorney General is getting ready to file charges against this asshole....

Not saying your point doesn't stand on it's own..

5. I'm so glad to have this confirmed

I remember reading somewhere about possible charges, but didn't know that the NC Attorney General would be the one filing them.

Honestly, in this situation, the best remedy would be to award the election to the Democrat. If the absentee ballots aren't rigged, it looks like he would have won. However, I think they will have to have a special election.

3. Yea. What he did was cheat the voters. He should not be able to be in that position again.

6. I cannot get over this shit. He cheated, then lied about it, then admitted to something wrong

but it would not have made a difference, and so let him win because he wasn’t in on the fix.

Now it’s all about Harris admitting to the fix and being the big man that he is and accepting a new election, and it was accepted. WTF?

(I knew I was breaking the law because I lost in another election to a guy who hired the same guy I hired to do the same thing. And I am a preacher.)

Fuck a good amount of these religious types. We are better than them. Fuck Pence. I would never do the things he has done.

14. Indeed, and we need to keep attention on this

15. The higher up the chain you are, the less consequences (if any) for screwing up

The myth that America is a meritocracy needs to die when the reality is the people at the top can screw up over and over and suffer no real consequences, criminally or financially while every screw-up sets back the rest of us, often for life.

16. One vote vs hundreds, if not thousands. nt

17. The only only good news is that the Democrat is

running against a cheater who should be in prison. Hopefully, a few R voters will be disgusted by him.
