There are some dead people voting: Republicans' grandmothers voting for Donald from beyond the grave. They are basically always caught. Individuals casting illegal ballots is a non-issue. Meanwhile Republicans are committing electoral fraud at higher levels
What continues to baffle me is AI deep fakes have been a thing for years. Mitch is a public figure. They have recordings and samplings. It's not super difficult to cobble together a reasonable text to speech program to get through a on-air phone conversation.
So honestly I don't understand the secret about this. Either he's fine and you just have him do a quick proof of life video for sympathy. Or he's basically gone and you have a special election, which republicans have historically had an annoying advantage in. Best guess, they are worried the seat could flip.
Yeah, but will they worry less about it flipping in November? And in the meantime, are they fine being down a vote in the Senate and with stalled committees? What is the actual game here.
NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN! You should never listen to a republican. Even when they make good arguments, they don't actually believe it. They're just trying to win and will abandon the position when its inconvenient. Best practices = operate like everything they say is in bad faith.
Funny thing is....dead people do vote. For republicans! Every single dead person voting that I've seen caught (so far is like 6) has all been some republican usually a Magat voting for their dead parent or someone else. The biggest one was a republican countys voting registery had an employee claiming IN MASS people who voted are dead. Some of them are in public cemetary graves and had been dead for 50+ years. IIRC one had died over 100 years ago.

Every Republican is a Nazi. They want totalitarianism.

As long as he votes how they want, he can continue to vote for decades after his death.

I just want an official announcement so I can start inviting people to the cookout. We need to celebrate the little things.

The person who did it would be using it to blackmail his client for the next 12 years so it’s just not a good investment.

I feel really bad for him. It makes me really sad he can't see how many people hate him and are making fun of him.

Massive could get the seat and he hates Trumpf. Better to let the massive shitstain turtle occupy the seat.

They're testing the waters for when this happens to Trump
