Is it just me or is it only Republicans that get caught committing voter fraud?

No, you evaded the question again and again.

I donā€™t think itā€™s just you. : ) I sure didnā€™t hear any ringing denial of wrongdoing in there.

Voter fraud? GOPers say only the browns do voter fraud. Yeah, probably illegal browns illegally signing his petition in a highly illegal wayā€¦so itā€™s totally not his fault. Did he mention his yooooog Great Dane?

I wonder if Martin Shkreli can find a place for Jonnie With the DogĀ® in one of his organizations?


Love this: ā€œI met your dog and your nanny,ā€ (you dissembling little bastard).

Kind of really missing some of the most important and critical detail right here.

  1. the signatures were forged
  2. the court ruled they are legally binding anyway

This is like a Citizens United ruling, except that unlimited numbers of untraceable dark signatures are now allowed to determine how people get installed in office. I cannot even comprehend how there isnā€™t a Federal investigation into election tampering already ongoing here. If someone forged my name to put ANYBODY on a ticket, my rage would be uncontainable.

As it is, even in a case like this where itā€™s someone elseā€™s names being forged, I am literally shaking with rage. The fact that it has been determined as legally permissible is just gasoline on the flames.

The rapid blinking (a sign of lying) is comical. Itā€™s like he is sending morse code saying ā€œhelp me!ā€

I kept waiting for the reporter to ask, specifically, something like: ā€œSo as far as youā€™re concerned, getting on the ballot is all that matters, and if it happened via fraud, thatā€™s okay with you?ā€ But he didnā€™t. Better than nothing, I guess. But, in the end, sorta weak.

Clearly, the only matter of importance to Keyser was that he is ā€œon the ballotā€. How he got there, how much fraud was committed on his behalf, that he had to sue to get on the ballot when heā€™d fallen short of the actual signature count needed to get on the ballot were of no concern. His only concern is that heā€™s ā€œon the ballotā€.

Letā€™s make sure that getting ā€œon the ballotā€ is the only success he ever sees.

To be clear, there is an apples/oranges question here that is confusing things.

The court did not rule that forged signatures were valid.

The court ruling dealt with a separate issue. Initially Keyserā€™s petitions were rejected by the SoS because one of his petition gatherers had moved and used a different address than the one where he was registered to vote.

The courts ruled (correctly) that the signatures gathered by that petitioner were valid, and he was placed back on the ballot.

The issue of the forged signatures only emerged after the court case had reinstated Keyser on the ballot. No court has ruled on them.

It may well (probably) turn out that it is too late to do anything about the forged signatures, but it certainly does not preclude criminal charges (which seem increasingly likely).

Iā€™m surprised you didnā€™t also note the eyebrows. Talk about broadcasting your dissembling; i.e., the higher the eyebrow, the bigger the lie. His go up and down faster than a Signalman Seamanā€™s semaphore flags on an ass-freezing day in seasick-inducing seas.

Still, the highlight of the video for me is:
Jon Keyser: ā€œDid you meet my dog.ā€
Marshall Zelinger: ā€œI met your dog and your nanny.ā€

The really sad fact here is that the reporter actually dogged this story and had facts and confronted the guy. Compare that with the usual cable interview that too often ends with ā€œI guess weā€™ll have to leave it there.ā€

Or as Larry Wilmore said at the White House dinner, ā€œHey Wolfe - ask a follow up!ā€

Well, if my name had been forged, Iā€™d file a formal complain and seek suit. This shit has to stop.
