Donald Trump staffer found guilty on 10 counts of election fraud

Source: Independent

A man who worked on Donald Trump’s campaign in Michigan has been found guilty on 10 counts of election fraud.

Brandon Hall, a political activist, forged signatures on petition forms in 2012 and now faces up to five years in prison.

The 27-year-old from Grand Haven, along with his friend Zachary Savage, forged signatures in support of judicial candidate Chris Houtaling.

Mr Savage received immunity from charges by the Attorney General’s Office in exchange for his testimony in this case, according to Grand Haven Tribune.

"projectatory". No wait, maybe it's "projectious," as in, "Donald J. Trump has a serious projectious disease."

Lol, whatever you call it, it's true that the massive, well funded RW propaganda machine has been working for years to project their own faults on to others and convince the public that's the truth. It's worked out very well for them. They accused Trump's opponents of every single fault or mistake rightly ascribed to Trump or his "team," and a large swath of the public bought that bullshit, because they've been hearing for years how awful Democrats, liberals, etc., are.

He may have just been found guilty but the thread title feels misleading. No doubt the guy is a crook, but the crimes happened four years ago.

how to game Obamas White House petition sig count by creating new emails to raise the vote sig count in a petition.

They cheat to win stuff, it's the Republican way.

Brandon Hall faces up to five years in prison for signing other people’s names in support of 2012 judicial candidate Chris Houtaling.

.... Hall’s friend Zachary Savage told the court he and Hall forged the signatures as Houtaling drove them to drop off the petitions by the filing deadline. Savage and Houtaling have not been charged for the incident.
