I was a poll worker in red Okaloosa Co FL & co-worker allowed a Republican voter a ballot w/a Xerox copy of his FL DL. She knew him, I protested but it did no good. Just 1 infraction I witnessed . Republicans are the ballot stuffers.

Naturally Trump - who cheated on Ivana with Marla & cheated on Marla with Melania & cheated on Melania with Stormy - wants Kristi Noem, who cheated on her husband with Corey Lewandowski, who’s married & cheated on his wife with Hope Hicks - as DHS secretary. Family values my ass.
