    These incidents shouldn’t happen with proper checks during registration. Registration should safeguard against this by checking voter eligibility.

    Headline makes it seem like he voted multiple times in the same election. It’s just stating that he registered to vote 9 times under felony probation since early 2000s.

    I thought it was bullshit those Florida felons got in trouble for voting after registration didn’t safeguard them, we should think it’s bullshit he is getting the same treatment.

      Felons shouldn’t be disenfranchised in the first place. Not to mention the guy at least had a plausible belief that his probation had ended; it’s not news that the criminal justice system is designed to be complicated and cruel for offenders.

      I do appreciate the irony that I am defending a wannabee fascist using progressive logic, though.
