@inthehands Hopefully, their conviction will influence other 'conservative' criminals.

“The law shouldn’t apply to us because we were breaking it on purpose to prove a point!”

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

@inthehands LMAO

[noahm@chaos.social]

@inthehands @drgroftehauge And claiming that enforcement of the law is fascism. The mind boggles.

@noahm @drgroftehauge

Just imagine how they’ll feel if they every find out what that word actually means.

@inthehands Reminds me of how when the local Republicans were trying to trick people into signing a petition to specifically allow gerrymandering...what suddenly gave me bad vibes about the person urging me to sign something the opposite of what he said it was, was the realization that this was basically a dude in blackface. Someone of probably Hispanic or Italian ancestry with added self-tanner and a Rasta wig. It looked not too unrealistic from a distance, but up close got really Uncanny Valley. So it's pretty clear who they think is their opposition.

@inthehands I want James O'Keefe prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It's espionage and sedition, according to POTUS. He's a terrorist against fair and accurate elections.

[moelassus@mastodon.social]

@inthehands I sure hope this lands them in jail. O’Keefe has been up to these shenanigans for far too long. Time to lock up his ass!

@inthehands

you can shorten that to "because we're white"

@inthehands
I’m glad they’re facing felony charges, at least until a trump judge lets them off or trump pardons them.
What a couple of weak little raciest sKKKum bags.

@IAmDannyBoling

Yeah, I gave their •excuse•, but you gave their •reason•

@drgroftehauge

[inthehands@hachyderm.io]

@RiaResists

Given that the charges are coming from a county prosecutor, I do wonder whether some of them will be MN state charges (which a US president cannot pardon)

@inthehands TIL: posting videos of oneself publicly committing a crime can land you in legal trouble

[stingraybadger@zirk.us]

@inthehands

Paul, I'm watching your posts from another country, across the ocean (UK) and find them so inspiring, thank you. We can relate to many of the same challenges here.

Please keep sharing if you're able

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

@inthehands

They did, in fact, get caught, and will now be going to jail.

Well then.

Thanks for red-teaming the system, guys. Great work. I'm pleased to report that the security measures in place are fully operational and functioning to spec. ️

[inthehands@hachyderm.io]

@StingrayBadger

Thanks. Stay strong the UK. We have to support each other, both door to door and around the world!

[yakmacker@society.kalli.st]

@inthehands I'm a bit confused, did they get caught in the act or did the attorney general see their video?

@yakmacker

From the article:

❝Even without the videos publicly posted by O’Keefe and Higby, Moriarty said her office would have been able to charge the case because election judges in the precincts noted their “strange behavior” and participation in the investigation.❞

[yakmacker@society.kalli.st]

@inthehands right "would have" but did they?

I mean, presumably they didn't ever vote illegally because they never signed the affidavits, so their stunt was a failure to begin with. But the article is unclear on his they got caught.
