Elsewhere GOP supporters are doing lots of things to more than a single ballot. But clearly this is the problem. Where's the one representative that suggested just giving the state to Trump without counting anything? Someone is panicking.

I bet if they found out the person voted Republican they'd bounce right into blaming Democrats for a witch hunt in prosecuting this case.

republicunts torching ballot boxes

Media: lol funni fire nothing wrong here move along

one non-citizenry tries, unsuccessfully, to vote, and it's caught immediately and prompts further investigations

Media: Here's 147 people all telling you how the democrats are rigging the election, and 27 of their closest relatives get on the phone to say they heard from their cousins step-sisters aunt's coworker's college roommate that there's TONS of fraud all over the place. Stay tuned. This is all we will be covering for the next week.

The false equivalence is frankly absurd at this point.

A case? As in one single person?

Yes, one single person. Many such case.

I don't have a problem with folks being outraged at an illegitimate vote; but what I can't get behind is this outrage while at the same time being (at best) unconcerned with legitimate voters being turned away.

One is bad because it's a vote counting when it shouldn't; the other is bad because it's a vote not counting when it should. It's essentially the same functional outcome, it's just that one of these...you know...actually happens a lot and the other doesn't.
