Not for state level charges.

I don’t think he can pardon them, but he might give them some of our tax money.

Oh yeah my bad, they applied for ballots. That being said "Minnesota law clearly states that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent the individual’s identity in applying for a ballot" so yeah.

Is he cooked? Is he even in custody?

And signed affadavits under penalty of perjury.

This depends on location. There was a thing a few years ago of people taking selfies with their ballots and posting them publicly. This becomes a very serious concern when the secret ballot - and preventing external pressures to vote a certain way - comes into question.

Some places consider it free speech to announce (and prove) who you're voting for; others view it as an invasion of the ballot box. I don't believe it's ever been reviewed by the courts.

ETA: fixed autocorrect again

I guarantee that if some idiot walked in live streaming, they'd just let them vote and get them out the door.

Hell, two idiots literally did that while dressed as Muslims and doing horrible fake accents like a week or two ago for early voting. They're getting felonies because they just kept early voting under other people's names, but they filmed the whole fucking thing including intros that said they're doing election fraud. And then put it online.

It's literally the article you're commenting on...

But what's even crazier to me is people just assume any of these rules will be enforced.

There's an absolutely huge difference between:

1. Not allowed to do that

2. Someone stopping you from doing that

And by 2026 we should all understand that, because that's the game the wealthy and powerful have been playing for generations.

It's bigger than selfies while voting, our next president needs to operate under "try and stop me" if they want any kind of shot at fixing stuff.
