4:04Now PlayingA Republican elections commissioner in New York is planning on pleading guilty to felony charges of voter fraud in just a few days after a massive federal investigation uncovered copious amounts of fraud in the state - with nearly all of it involving Republicans. This is just further proof that every accusation from the GOP is actually an admission, and Farron Cousins explains why the Republican Party is completely silent about what happened in New York.

A Republican election commissioner in the state of New York has decided to plead guilty to felony charges of voter fraud. Voter fraud. That allegedly, according to the complaint, took place over the span of two years. The election official in question, uh, ma'am, by the name of Jason Schofield. Of course, as I said, Republican was serving a four year term, and actually on the day, on the day, he decided to plead guilty, change his plea from not guilty to guilty. Uh, he did that in the morning, that afternoon, the election board voted 16 to two to give him another four year term. Now, it's unclear whether or not those voters on that election board knew, uh, that he was about to plead guilty to a two year voter fraud scheme and also cooperate with the FBI's investigation into massive voter fraud in Rinser County. But either way, they had to have known something was up because the guy was arrested in September.
So guilty, not guilty, whatever his plea was, they knew that he was facing a massive criminal investigation and criminal charges, and yet they still voted to give him another four year term. That is how corrupt these Republicans are. So here's what the scheme was, again, allegedly, according to the filings, over the span of two years, uh, what they allegedly did was gather up a bunch of absentee ballots for people that did not request absentee ballots, filled them out themselves and turned them all in, you know, pretty cut and dry there. People didn't want absentee ballots, so they said, okay, we're not gonna, not gonna do that for you. But then they took the absentee ballot themselves, filled it out as if they were the person and voted. Now, Shefield is not the only Republican that has already gone down for this scheme. Another woman who also served with the election commission has also been charged.
There's two more Republicans that are also under investigation. They have not been charged yet, but charges will likely be coming against them. As I mentioned, the FBI is the one conducting this investigation, but it is running parallel to a state investigation. This is a big deal, right? This is a, a ton of voter fraud, a scheme that went on for years involving all Republicans. So the big question I have now that this guy's gonna plead guilty, he goes back to court January 11th. That is when he is going to officially plead guilty, but he's already filed his intent. Um, where's the Republicans on this, right? I mean, for, for the last two years, basically, while this whole scheme was playing out, we've heard Republicans talk about nothing but voter fraud Over Democrats are out there stealing elections. They're doing the
Kind of thing that Mr. Schofield has been accused of doing. So this has been news, like I said, since September when he was first arrested by the FBI outside of his home. You would think Republicans out there would be like, good, let's get rid of the voter fraud. People, you know, whether it's Democrat, Republican, we don't care if you're committing fraud, if you're breaking the law, get 'em outta here. Nothing crickets, worse than crickets, because it's just dead silence. Th this is exactly what they've been looking for. All right? This is the kind of stuff that Mike Lindell has said, oh, we're gonna prove all this. Here it is, bud. The problem is it's your party, and at this point, it's becoming crystal clear that every Republican accusation is really just an admission. Because if you want to find widespread voter fraud, you need look no further than the modern Republican party.
