    If you started losing... we'd cheat. The f'r wouldn't get out of the arena alive. As in after the show. You can bet on that.

    A typical Trump supporter -- not only into voting fraud but also involved in financially scamming others.

    Explain to be once again why the MAGA crowd shout so much about "election fraud" since 2020 -- but every time someone is arrested for election fraud it is one of them.

    Of course his dad croaked from Covid-19 -- he must have been treating his father with horse paste instead of vaccinations & mainstream medicine.


    GOP activist in The Villages accused of forging signature on dead dad’s ballot

    A Republican activist who supports former President Donald Trump in The Villages is facing voter fraud accusations that he forged the signature on his dead father’s mail ballot in the 2020 election.


    Robert Rivernider Jr., 58, was charged last week with forgery of a public record and fraud in connection with casting a vote, according to court records in Sumter County. A convicted felon released from prison in May 2020, he owes $22 million in restitution to victims of an investment scam, court records show.

    His latest charges stem from a ballot that was postmarked Oct. 23, 2020, four days after Rivernider’s father died, Walter Forgie, chief assistant state attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit, said on Tuesday.

    A handwriting expert determined the ballot had been forged, he said.

    “We take these crimes seriously and thank the supervisor of elections for his work on the case,” Forgie said.

    In an interview, Rivernider denied wrongdoing. He said his father died of COVID-19, and he didn’t know if his father even voted in that election.

    “People who don’t like my effectiveness in helping President Trump want to take me out,” he said, calling the charges politically motivated.

    Rivernider joined political life in The Villages after he was released early from federal prison in May 2020. He was sentenced in 2013 to 12 years in prison for operating two bogus investment schemes that bilked investors and lenders out of more than $25 million.

    Rivernider said he is a Villagers for Trump board member and worked as a field coordinator for the Republican Party of Florida in support of Trump’s campaign in 2020.

    He volunteered for congressional candidate Laura Loomer in 2022. She was defeated by U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster in the GOP primary.

    Loomer defended Rivernider, who she said helped with signs and door-knocking during her campaign.

    “He regretted his previous actions,” she said. “He said he was trying to rebuild his life and he was very passionate about politics and he really wanted to vote and he would only vote if it were legal.”

    Rivernider was granted compassionate release during the pandemic and is serving supervised release until May 2025, said Thomas Carson, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut.

    His monthly payment on the massive restitution debt is $400, court records show.

    Rivernider also faced scrutiny for an Oct. 31 absentee ballot officials say he cast in the 2022 election, despite being a felon who owes restitution.

    But in a Dec. 9 memo, the state attorney’s office concluded “the state cannot prove … beyond a reasonable doubt” that Rivernider knowingly cast the absentee ballot illegally.

    Rivernider said he was advised by an elections official he could vote if he applied and received a voter ID card. Rivernider said he doesn’t recall voting, although state records show that he did.

    Sumter County Supervisor of Elections Bill Keen did not respond to a request for comment.

    Most Florida felons are eligible to have their voting rights restored, but they must complete all the terms of their sentence, including parole, probation and payment of fines and fees.

    The Villages has been making headlines for other voter fraud arrests. Four people were charged with voting twice in the 2020 election and later admitted guilt.

    In August 2022, DeSantis announced the arrest of 20 felons on voter fraud charges. They were accused of violating a prohibition that bars people convicted of sex offenses and murder from voting.

    Court records, though, revealed confusion with ineligible felons being issued voter ID cards leading some to believe they could legally vote.

    Some of those cases have been dismissed, while others resulted in plea deals or are pending.

    Found some more of that voter fraud that GOP regularly complains about.

    Iowa official’s wife found guilty on all 52 counts of voter fraud charges
    https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4322071-iowa-officials-wife-found-guilty-voter-fraud/

    Kim Taylor, the wife of an Iowa county supervisor, was found guilty of 52 counts of voter fraud Tuesday, concluding a months-long case into her interference in the 2020 election.

    Federal prosecutors said Taylor attempted to “generate votes” in the 2020 primary and general elections in Iowa in order to help her husband, Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor, win the primary for Rep. Steve King’s (R-Iowa) former seat.

    Jeremy Taylor lost that primary, receiving only 8 percent of the vote, but prosecutors said Kim Taylor again broke the law in assisting her husband to seek reelection as a supervisor that fall, which he did win.

    According to prosecutors, Taylor applied for and submitted false absentee ballots, signed ballots on voters’ behalf without their permission and encouraged others to do the same.

    She was arrested in January.

    The 52 counts carry a maximum sentence of five years each. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

    U.S. Attorney Timothy Duax denounced Taylor’s actions in a statement to local outlet KCAU.

    “The right to vote is one of our most important constitutional rights. Ms. Taylor deprived citizens of their right to vote in order to benefit her husband’s campaign,” Duax said. “The guilty verdict is an example of how the justice system works to protect the voting rights of citizens, and ensure fair and honest elections.”

    Jeremy Taylor, still serving as a county supervisor, defended his wife in a statement.

    “While this was certainly not the outcome we were hoping for, we respect our court system that allowed the jury to hear my wife’s side of the story,” he told KCAU. “While I plan to continue making decisions that are best for our county’s families, my first priority right now is to deal with today’s results as a private matter in order to be there for my own family, my wife and our children.”

    Georgia GOP vice chair booted for illegally voting 9 times as a convicted felon
    https://www.alternet.org/georgia-gop-illegal-voting/

    Brian K. Pritchard is no longer the vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party after a large majority of his fellow Republicans voted to remove him from his position this week.

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Pritchard was removed from his role as the party's #2 official after a whopping 86% of the Georgia GOP's state committee supported a motion to oust him. The vote to officially remove Pritchard came after he refused to step down amid revelations that he voted on nine separate occasions despite a prior felony conviction.
