Allies of former President Donald Trump continue to dangerously (and falsely) insist that widespread voter fraud took place in the 2020 election, "stealing" a reelection victory from him.

They often point to misleading, outright false, or statistically insignificant data or anecdotal evidence to support their claims. That's what Nevada Republican Donald Kirk Hartle did in the weeks following the November 2020 election.

In a television appearance, Hartle claimed that someone voted using his wife's ballot, despite his wife sadly dying of cancer in 2017. The claim went on to be cited by pro-Trump media personality Matt Schlapp to promote lies that countless dead people voted in the 2020 election.

Hartle said at the time:

"That is pretty sickening to me, to be honest with you."

Nevada's Democratic Attorney General and Republican Secretary of State agreed, and they decided to look into it.

What they found was that the 55 year old Hartle allegedly forged his wife's signature and voted on her behalf. He's since been charged with two felony counts of fraud, with each charge carrying a prison sentence of up to four years.

Hartle's lawyer said he was "eager" to respond to the allegations, but it's unclear what his defense will be.

Meanwhile, social media users were already responding to the news.






People weren't surprised to learn that Hartle was reportedly behind it all.




Hartle is due in court next month.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.

Savannah Guthrie Opens Up About What She Tells Her Kids Amid Her Mom's Disappearance In Emotional 'Today' Clip

Some say that parenting is an impossible job, with an unending list of decisions and possible missteps, but parenting might feel uniquely impossible to someone in Savannah Guthrie's position.

Guthrie's mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her home at the end of January. Her absence was first noted when she did not appear at church service that Sunday. One of her doors was discovered ajar and a single image of a blurry figure was caught on camera, and there's been no sign of her or her whereabouts since.
