Surely, his sentencing will exceed hers right? Right?
“When he came to Georgia, he was aware that he was registering to vote illegally. He knew when he went in all nine times and signed that voter certificate, he was voting illegally,” he said last February.
Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs agreed, and issued Pritchard a $5,000 fine, and ordered that he receive a public reprimand from the State Election Board.
Surely, you jest?!
6 years for voting when it’s also claimed to be a democratic right is insane. USA is a very dysfunctional democracy. Starting with first past the post, which is to blame for the undemocratic 2 party system.
Preventing people in conflict with the law from voting, is an obvious undemocratic and oppressive policy too. Like saying you can only vote if you agree.
When you abuse the system to cheat at voting (as multiple GOP folks have been proven in court), I think it’s completely fair and correct to temporarily restrict your ability to participate. You’ve shown that you don’t treat it with the proper degree of responsibility.
The 6 years was for voting when the person believed he could. But it was punished harshly to oppress and create fear among black voters.
The White guy knowingly committed voter fraud, and only got probation.
Yes it would be fair in the 2nd case to issue punishment for voter fraud, but not in the first, since the unfairness clearly is that the person was prevented in performing his democratic right. Except USA is only barely a democracy, and democratic rights are trampled routinely.
This just in, one of these was (finally) acquitted in appeals court, there has to be evidence they knew they weren’t eligible (and being told you’re eligible is pretty strong evidence to the contrary)

Every accusation is a confession. Every single one. No exceptions.
Lol this might actually be the biggest overstatement I’ve ever seen stated plainly on the internet
Not at all. The modern GOP is built on astounding levels of projection about their issues, their behavior, and their secrets.
If someone’s ranting about voter fraud, it’s probably someone like the guy in this article who committed a lot of it.
If someone’s ranting about how horrible taxes are, it’s probably someone who happily takes government handouts without a hint of shame or hypocrisy awareness.
If someone’s ranting about the temptations of gay sex, his name’s probably Larry “Wide Stance” Craig.
Seriously, every accusation they make is a confession. No exceptions.
Lol goddamn “every accusation is a confession, no exceptions” is seriously the most braindead, brainwashed take. I mean, fuck, just say “often these accusations are confessions” and you won’t sound so hyperbolic and your statements would ring true. Leaving ZERO room for nuance is just such a bad take, man.
So literally every anti-gay Republican is a closeted homosexual. Not a SINGLE one is just a rabid Christian, or just a bigot. Right? Lol jesus christ
“We cheated so hard and still lost! They had to have stolen it!”
It’s always projection.
A republican projecting their own unethical behavior?? Surely this is an isolated incident.
