A Republican election officials in the state of New York, specifically an election official from Ren Slayer county in New York was arrested this week on multiple charges of committing absentee ballot fraud. Now to put that a little more succinct, a Republican official was arrested for voter fraud this week. The very thing by the way, Republicans tell us nearly every day Democrats are engaged in across the country and have been since 2020, just fraud, everywhere behalf of Democrats. And then oops, here comes another Republican. This one, an actual election's official being arrested for voter fraud. The election official's name is Jason Shefield and Mr. Shefield, um, he, well, let me just read. what he did here. He unlawfully. This is according to the arresting documents. He unlawfully used the names and dates of birth of voters to fraudulently apply for absentee ballots. In some of these instances, according to the indictment show field also took possession of the absentee ballots issued to these voters, brought the ballots to the voters and had the voters sign absentee ballot envelopes, but not actually vote this allowed show field and or another person and or another person to cast votes in these voters names in Renno SLS county, primary and general elections held in 2021.

So what he was doing to put it more succinctly in case you didn't catch that this election's official was using people's personal data and applying for absentee ballots. And these were people that it was already determined. I don't know how they determined this, but this what it says in the report, they were determined that these folks weren't gonna vote anyway. So you've got a bunch of non-voters. So this guy's show field, according to the indictment, fills out their information gets the absentee ballot, goes to their houses and say, Hey, uh, can you just sign this envelope for me? For some reason, the people did it. Like, that's the weirdest part. Like, um, I didn't request this ballot. I, I, I don't intend to vote, but, uh, ah, you look like a good guy. signature here. I mean, okay. Let's just stop right there for a moment because yeah.

What show field did a hundred percent wrong, totally illegal, but can we not put a little bit of blame all the voters themselves? Like if somebody shows up at your door with an absentee ballot envelope, which is pretty unmistakable, like, you know what it is when you see it, it's an official government document and you're like, yep. Let me just go ahead. I gotta pin right here. There's my signature. I have no idea what you need it for, but um, oh, well I'm an idiot cuz you are like, if you do that, I'm sorry. You're very stupid. so anyway, then he takes the signed ballot, which is what you need to verify who the person is. And then as the indictment says, either he voted for the person,

Uh, not voted for the person, but he filled in the ballot for the person or he had somebody else do it. That's fraud that is textbook fraud, filling out a ballot, pretending to be another human being is voter fraud. And here we have another Republican who did it, the vast majority of all the people arrested within the last two years for voter fraud have been Republicans. They've been Trump supporters basically, except of course, for that gaggle of 20 people down here in the state of Florida, you know that Ron DeSantis recently made a big showing of look at all these, uh, people we got for voter fraud. And he announced that in a heavily democratic county, but then it actually turns out that none of these people are probably gonna be prosecuted because DeSantis own people. His own government actually told them, yes, you are eligible to vote.

So it's now on DeSantis administration, cuz they're the ones who screwed up. So when you get rid of those 20, which is what the court system will likely do. Um, there's so far is only one verified case of a Democrat illegally voting in 2020 for president Biden documented. I will say publicly, maybe there's more,
