Elections portal to request absentee ballots on behalf of eight voters who had no interest in voting, did not request absentee ballots and didn’t know that Schofield was using their personal information to obtain the ballots.

Republicans talk about fraud and Democrats cheating, but they are the ones who continue to get arrested for election-related crimes. Donald Trump’s big lie about the election being stolen has given Republicans justification in their minds to cheat because Trump and their media have told them that Democrats are cheating.
Democrats aren’t cheating. The people who believe and act on Trump’s lies are paying the price for the failed former president’s refusal to admit that he lost the 2020 election.
