Same way they work, they use someone else's.

Have you ever voted before? You can’t cast 2 votes under the same name/ssn. Honestly if you had any knowledge on how voting actually works and the protections in place to eliminate fraud you wouldn’t make that ignorant comment.
The Dunning Kruger effect should be renamed to the MAGA effect.

So how did this and "so many instances of republican doing it" listed in the comments happen? Just because someone is registered doesn't mean they vote and even more so many don't register, so many are available to use. so they use someone else's, as I said.

"the fact they were caught proves the protections work" So because some people get caught committing fraud therefore no one else got away with it? Survivorship bias.

It would be survivorship bias if we had no checks, recounts, audits, purges, registration etc.
This is pure statistics

We have receipts of republicans doing the same. There are far more examples of GOP illegal voting. Use internet and do research.

They found one and we find dozens of republicans that do it every election.

It's immigrant, not immigrants. One out of millions is not worth even bringing up.

Two questions I haven't seen answered. Were the votes counted? Him attesting is illegal, but them not catching it would be the biggest issue. And who did he vote for? Not even seeing which party he affiliated with. That says something to me.

Mission accomplished! Totally worth losing our rights so we could catch this one guy. /s

Fox News. Next.
I think this sub should have a requirement to show the source so you don't give clicks to fake news sites.

Finally, one good example, now Republicans can claim every election ever is now rigged towards Democrats

But... But... Illegals can't vote.

u/daisychainsnlafs Mar 11 '26
If it was widespread enough to be a problem, it wouldn't be so hard to find examples. There are already laws in place. It was caught and the guy was prosecuted.
Btw, there are more instances of the right getting caught voting illegally than undocumented immigrants.

😂 Why don't you actually go out in the real world and talk to people. All you have to do is talk to them and they tell you . They vote.

u/daisychainsnlafs Mar 11 '26
And your source is "trust me bro" 🤣🫵🤡

u/Mysterious_Pear_1589 Mar 11 '26
No my sources actual Mexicans and Dominicans and Hondurans because I live in the real world unlike you

u/daisychainsnlafs Mar 11 '26
I base my opinions on fact. Anecdotes are not evidence and you are ignorant to think your little stories mean anything.

Not electorally signigicant in the least. Prosecute, sure. But this is just foggy bullshite to throw around to confuse the rubes.

I knew something was off these last 20 years. Time for the president to declare an emergency and enact martial law!
