More Voter Fraud

I've posted on this subject as recently as last month.

A fourth retiree from The Villages has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into voter fraud at the well-known central Florida retirement community. Charles Franklin Barnes, 64, was taken to Sumter County Jail on Tuesday night, and faces a charge of fraud, according to a spokesperson for the county sheriff’s office.  

Three other residents of The Villages, all reportedly registered as Republicans, were arrested last year for allegedly casting ballots in both Florida and their home states. Soon after, Lake County officials said they'd handed another six potential cases of double voting over to prosecutors.  As a consequence, additional arrests are likely to be made.  

Though records show Barnes is not registered with a political party in Florida, he allegedly voted there in the 2020 presidential election, as well as in Connecticut, where he is registered to vote. 

Mind you, this is not evidence of a vast conspiracy.  It is an example of the garden-variety fraud that goes on with every election.  

And none of it is of the scale that would likely impact the outcome of a national election.  Yet it does happen and it is committed by bad actors regardless of political party. 

Personally-speaking I'd like to see more of these morons caught, punished with fines, jail time and revocation of their voting privileges if convicted of a felony.  

Make and example of these fools.
