You really truly couldn’t make this stuff up, this being just a quick update of it’s okay if you’re a Republican.
It’s okay to commit voter fraud if you’re a Republican. Seems like one Billy Lanzilottie, a “23-year-old GOP operative, South Philadelphia ward leader, and chairman of the Republican Registration Coalition” arranged to have more than three dozen mail ballot applications sent to a PO Box he controlled. Of course, it was all on the up and up because:
…Aiming “to help pump out the Republican voter turnout,” he said, he began going door-to-door earlier this month and signing up residents of the 26th to vote by mail.
He’d hand them a form on which he or people he works with had already filled out the voter’s name and his P.O. Box as the destination, he said. Having the ballots sent there was a “convenience to the voter,” he said, so it could be hand-delivered to them later by someone they trusted.
“There’s been a number of problems with the post office lately,” he said. ”Checks are being stolen out of the mail. They like it this way because I’m someone they trust.”
Except:
But many of the voters said they don’t know who Lanzilotti is and had no idea he was submitting mail ballot applications in their names.
Sure sounds a lot like what they accuse Democrats of doing, doesn’t it?
Also, Republicans also appear to feel that it’s okay to hold an elected position even if you just murdered your wife:
A Lebanon [Indiana] man accused of killing his wife in March and dumping her body in a creek is among the candidates to advance in a local election after Indiana’s primaries Tuesday. …
The 40-year-old has been incarcerated in the Boone County Jail since March after police said he told investigators he threw a concrete flower pot at his wife, Nikki Wilhoite, the night before and dropped her body over the side of a bridge.
Well, I suppose at least he’s honest, given the fact that he confessed.
