If he was a poor black woman he'd already be serving five years.

Hmm, it seems someone convicted and still on probation for felony forgery probably shouldn't be involved in election proceedings, which has a risk of forgery-based tampering...

No, silly! Consequences are for black people!

(Do I need to put the /s?)

Didn't a black woman in TN or something vote once after being told by a government employee that she was eligible to vote then get sent to prison for it? Just saying.

Her name is Pamela Moses and she's serving a 6 year sentence.

Awesome. I knew somebody would have the details on that. It's pretty awful.

Just a reminder that Dan Patrick has still not paid Fetterman the million bucks in Sheetz gift cards he's owed for finding a Republican who got an absentee ballot so his dead mom could vote for Trump.

So it costs about $625 per vote after the first one. Seems cheap.

Election was rigged and repubes rigged it.

No, nut the RNC sure is now

He started voting illegally in 2008 and it took the courts 16 years to get around to punishing him, and he gets a slap on the wrist for it. Anyone want to guess what his skin color is?

Are you shitting me? Put his ass in prison. 9 times.

Gosh, that’s $1000 per year they tried to give that poor black woman that failed to caste a single provisional ballot, let alone 9 successful votes.
