    Either way I love the fact these people prove themselves wrong and then go to jail for it

    Definitely my favorite part of the story. I’m sure that once the ballots are cast there’s some sort of verification process, because why the hell wouldn’t there be…I guess I’m just confused as to why there’s no verification when the ballots are requested in the first place. It’s one thing to commit identity theft and use a real person’s name and SSN, but the fact that you can just make up a name and SSN and get a ballot sent you you baffles me.
