TrumpTard: I Accidentally Voted Twice in 2020 and 2022

An attorney from Ohio has been indicted for voter fraud for casting a ballot twice in both the 2020 and 2022 elections. Prosecutors say Shaker Heights Attorney James Saunders voted in Cuyahoga County and Broward County, Florida. An indictment accuses the 56-year-old Saunders of two counts of election fraud, both fourth degree felonies.Saunders is accused of voting in person in Ohio and Florida in the 2020 general election. The indictment also claims the attorney voted in person in Ohio in the 2022 general election and by mail in Broward County, Florida. Saunders had made several small donations to Donald Trump's campaigns and other Republican organizations.
A Shaker Heights attorney indicted for illegally voting in the last two general elections should be acquitted, in part, because he cast ballots in two states by accident, his attorney argued to a judge. James Saunders, a 56-year-old former lawyer, did not mean to commit a crime when he cast ballots in both Cuyahoga County and Broward County, Florida—counties where he owns property and has been registered to vote since before 2009, his lawyer said during closing arguments Wednesday.
Andrew Rogalski, an assistant county prosecutor, said the argument would have been more credible if Saunders had done it just once. "The fact that you do that in consecutive general elections I think takes 'accident' to the land of imaginary doubt, and not reasonable doubt," Rogalski said. Federal Elections Commission filings showed that Saunders had made monthly donations to then-President Donald Trump's re-election campaigns and various other conservative political groups.
