“The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote,” Musk’s mother wrote in the Oct. 5 post. “On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

Yes it's illegal.

Is this the immigrant voter nightmare we keep hearing about

have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes

Does she think you can just add a bit of facial hair and no one will know it's the same person, like they're trying to trick Vader or something? Poll workers aren't fucking stupid, you're going to get recognized.

"Appears"? What a cowardly bullshit headline.

I think if I was accusing the mother of the richest asshole on the planet, who literally sued advertiser for not advertising after telling them, “fuck off,” I’d be pretty careful how I said it, too.

She legit looks like a comic book movie super villain in that thumbnail.

So does Trump’s mom. They have a type from whence they spawn. Cruella DeVille’s.

That's not the way any of this works...

Even in states with same day voter registration:

What a couple of numb nuts.

10? 100? Those are rookie numbers, some elections I'll spend my entire day voting, 8 hours a day if I can.

I can get my voting time down to <30 seconds if I bring a pre-filled out stack of ballots.

If only I lived in a swing state, I'm just voting for myself over and over

I didn't realize the unfortunate collection of atoms referred to as "leon" had a mother. I assumed it coalesced out of the warm santorum between Peter Thiel and JD Vance.
