Major story of interest from
The Hill with this headline:
“PA Trump supporter officially charged with voter fraud”
A PA man, Bruce Bartman, has been charged with illegally casting a ballot for Trump in the name of his deceased mother.
Bartman faces
two felony counts of perjury and one count of unlawful voting after illegally casting
that absentee ballot for Trump in the name of his deceased mother, Elizabeth
Bartman. He also had secured an absentee ballot in the name of his deceased
mother-in-law, but he did not cast that ballot.
Delaware Country DA Jack Stollsteimer told reporters at a
news conference that Bartman admitted he was able to register his dead mother
to vote online after he requested an absentee ballot in her name, which he then
filled out and submitted. Stollsteimer added: “For all the conspiracy theorists
out there, this case today does not represent widespread voter fraud. This case
was evidence that one person committed voter fraud by casting an improper and
illegal ballot.”
First Assistant DA Tanner Rouse, head of the PA fraud task
force added: “In the hundreds of calls we received and the hundreds of visits
we made, we only found one instance of malfeasance, and that was Mr. Bartman.
He will be prosecuted. He has been arraigned and is now out on bail.”
My 2 cents: This story stands on its own.
The Trump echo chamber suddenly is as silent as him not
conceding the election.
Thanks for stopping by.
