    That’s not entirely fair. I know a dude who was a tech for the US army and is conservative. Dipshit told me he voted for Trump 4 times in 2016, which is the last time we spoke. It was an, uh, interesting conversation

      He told you four times, or he voted four times?

      Should be fairly hard to vote four times. If you send in absentee ballots and then go vote, well, you only get one voter id, so the previous attempt is just overwritten.

      Maybe he fooled himself?

        he voted absentee, then he went to four [edit: wait, three. it’s been a bit] different precincts. he ignored all conversation in which they would have told them that this would cancel his absentee and any previous votes he had cast (which also cancelled his local votes. dipshit. he only voted for president on his fraudulent ballots). it’s almost like they built the system to plan for this kind of tomfoolery and fraud. and that they, meaning the authorities, would likely know what he was up to even if i didn’t (and wouldn’t, in light of our long friendship) report him, and that he was guilty of a 5 year max felony. which is what i told him. also warned him not to tell me about any more election-related crimes because i was obligated by my profession’s code of ethical conduct to report them. i wasn’t, but i wanted him to knock off his dipshittery maybe. haven’t seen him since.
