Hey look! There it is, hidden behind the WMDs. We found the voter fraud!
2 Florida Men From Trump-Loving Villages Charged With Voter Fraud
"Two Florida men admitted to casting more than one ballot in the 2020 presidential election and have agreed to attend adult civics lessons as part of a deal with prosecutors.
Charles Franklin Barnes Jr., 64, and Jay Richard Ketcik, 63, are both residents of The Villages, a Sumter County retirement community famous for its residents’ seemingly boundless support for Donald Trump, who continues to baselessly claim that widespread voter fraud cost him a second term. There is no evidence that voter fraud occurred in the last presidential election at a scope beyond the usual small number of cases ― let alone enough to tip the scales of history.
Ketcik is a registered Republican, according to public records, while Barnes has no official party affiliation.
Voter fraud is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison."
But do they have to do time?
No!
They got a stern talking-to and a serious slap on the wrist with a wet noodle.
"Both men agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion program with State Attorney Bill Gladson, according to court documents obtained by HuffPost. The agreement, meant for first-time and nonviolent offenders, means they can avoid jail time if they stick to the requirements.
Barnes and Ketcik must complete 50 hours of community service, meet regularly with a supervising officer and agree not to consume excessive alcohol or illegal drugs in order to avoid further prosecution."
Oh my! No drinking? How will they ever survive?
