Officials: Toilet display mocking mail-in voting is a crime
Wvlt ^

Posted on 09/20/2020 4:46:38 PM PDT by MNDude

A Michigan resident’s apparent joke showing disdain for voting by mail is no laughing matter for one election official.

The resident put a toilet on their lawn with a sign that says, “Place Mail In Ballots Here.”

Barb Byrum, the Democratic clerk of Ingham County, filed a complaint with police over the display, saying it could mislead people who aren’t familiar with the voting system.

“It is a felony to take illegal possession of an absentee ballot,” Byrum said Friday.

Anyone without a medical reason who would mistake that for a ballot box should not be voting.

So the toilet display isn’t a crime.

So the Michigan election official thinks so little of the local voters understanding of the voting system that he would file a complaint .... should those people be voting at all?

FTA: Barb Byrum, the Democratic clerk of Ingham County, filed a complaint with police over the display, saying it could mislead people who aren’t familiar with the voting system.

Only Hiden Biden would think a toilet is “that thing, that thing, you know, that thing that you put your mail in. You know what I mean.”

Put $1,000 in cash in an envelope and mail it to yourself.

If you don’t have the guts to do it, you better vote in person come November.

Will he prosecute the Democrats who take such ballots from mailboxes and submit the votes?

“Our voters are too stupid to realize this is political commentary protected by the 1st Amendment, which we don’t really give a damn about.”

Did I miss something, or does that sum up what she’s saying with her complaint?

I wish I believed in putting the following bumper stickers on cars with Biden/Harris emblems on them:

DummycRAT for Dummies
We Support Dumb and Dumber
We are with Stupid
Voting for Hiden Biden
DummycRAT voting for Dementia

Alas, my values will not allow me to deface a DuumycRAT’s private property. Dang it!
