LOL I hadn’t heard of that. They didn’t just enter a polling station with their faces covered and fake names, they actually voted in lieu of several other existing people, in several polling stations. Even setting aside the part about giving all the proof they could possibly give on camera, they would have basically proved that justice is slow when they eventually got caught. News at 11.
Edit: they applied for ballots my bad. Still illegal.
I haven’t read anything that says they actually got to the point where they cast any fraudulent votes (or even obtained any ballots). But it turns out the law is quite clear that you can’t impersonate anyone as part of the voting process, even if you don’t actually cast a ballot. He’s cooked.
Is he cooked? Is he even in custody?
Oh yeah my bad, they applied for ballots. That being said “Minnesota law clearly states that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent the individual’s identity in applying for a ballot” so yeah.
It happens, especially when rushed, distracted, failing eyesight, interruptions, etc. No worries!
And signed affadavits under penalty of perjury.
About time this absolute jackass faced some negative consequences
Pardon in 3, 2, 1…
Not for state level charges.
I don’t think he can pardon them, but he might give them some of our tax money.

Oh, this cunt again. I thought he died along with his relevance years ago.
Americans are allowed to record and take pictures inside of a voting station?
Voters are only allowed to take pictures of their own ballots. No selfies are allowed in the voting booth or in that general area. The press is only allowed to film a limited part of the polling area with no voting booths or ballots in view.
I guarantee that if some idiot walked in live streaming, they’d just let them vote and get them out the door.
Hell, two idiots literally did that while dressed as Muslims and doing horrible fake accents like a week or two ago for early voting. They’re getting felonies because they just kept early voting under other people’s names, but they filmed the whole fucking thing including intros that said they’re doing election fraud. And then put it online.
It’s literally the article you’re commenting on…
But what’s even crazier to me is people just assume any of these rules will be enforced.
There’s an absolutely huge difference between:
-
Not allowed to do that
-
Someone stopping you from doing that
And by 2026 we should all understand that, because that’s the game the wealthy and powerful have been playing for generations.
It’s bigger than selfies while voting, our next president needs to operate under “try and stop me” if they want any kind of shot at fixing stuff.

It’s not legal everywhere. For example:
https://www.votetexas.gov/voting/allowed-at-the-polling-place.html
persons may not use any mechanical or electronic means of recording images or sound within 100 feet of a voting station. A voting station is the area where the voter marks the ballot.
