Much of the mainstream media love to highlight the difficulty people have voting in order to use that to support what they call less restrictive voting laws. One such example was in 2020 when CNN hyped the six hours a man named Hervis Rogers waited in line to vote on Super Tuesday in Texas. One problem, however. Mr. Rogers was voting illegally and was subsequently arrested for that just recently.
Here is the CNN hype on March 4, 2020, echoed by other media outlets, about the trouble Mr. Rogers claimed he had voting illegally.

So CNN lied? Shocking.
lolz.
The six hours was probably the cumulative time for the fifteen individual times he voted.
Ugh, were probably...
Karma for the man. The Karma for CNN is long overdue.
So....it wasn’t Mr Rogers’ neighborhood...
My first reaction was “arrested?” They would be giving the guy a medal. Then I saw it was Texas.
Now he’ll be a bigger star on CNN.
And Avenatti went to prison yesterday.
What fun. The ducks go down.
When do the big quackers at CNN go down?
A little more info......
Hervis Rogers, 62, was arrested on Wednesday on two counts of illegal voting, a second-degree felony that carries a possible sentence of two to 20 years in prison. His bail has been set at $100,000.
Rogers was one of the many voters in the city of Houston who waited hours in line to cast their ballots during Super Tuesday in March 2020. He became the overnight face of Texas’ battle over voting access after emerging from a polling center at a historically Black college around 1:30 a.m.
But Rogers was a few months short of the end of his parole following two felony burglary convictions from the early 1990s, making him ineligible to cast a ballot under Texas law. Prosecutors also said that Rogers voted illegally on the 2018 midterm elections.
Even though Rogers voted in Harris County, one of the most diverse counties in Texas and where Houston is located, he is being charged and possibly tried in Montgomery County, where he is currently being held.
