Former Trump Aide Apparently Voted in Two Different States During 2016 Primary—and No One Is Surprised

Former Trump Aide Apparently Voted in Two Different States During 2016 Primary—and No One Is Surprised

More than a year since losing the 2020 presidential election to then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump continues to falsely insist that he's the legitimate winner.Trump's lies that Democrats conspired with election companies and foreign adversaries culminated in a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol.

A key part of Trump's smears against the democratic process is his claim that voter fraud—an overwhelmingly rare phenomenon in the United States—is rampant throughout the country.


But as it turns out, an increasing number of confirmed "voter fraud" stories actually seems to be emerging from the GOP itself, with multiple offenses committed by Trump supporters and registered Republicans.

Now, a former aide to the ex-President has reportedly continued that tradition.

According to a report from the Associated Press, Matt Mowers, a former senior adviser in Trump's cabinet and current New Hampshire congressional candidate, voted multiple times in multiple states in the 2016 Republican primaries.

Through a public records request, the AP uncovered that Mowers voted absentee in New Hampshire early on, presumably for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whose campaign Mowers was working on at the time. After Christie dropped out, Mowers reportedly used his parents' address to vote in the primaries again, this time in New Jersey.

According to the Associated Press:

"Legal experts say Mowers’ actions could violate a federal law that prohibits 'voting more than once' in 'any general, special, or primary election.' That includes casting a ballot in separate jurisdictions 'for an election to the same candidacy or office.'"

It was the latest instance of a Trump ally committing the very same type of fraud that the former President has used to smear the validity of American democracy.

But people weren't exactly surprised.






Others called for Mowers to face legal consequences.



Through his spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, Trump continues to spew unhinged conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 election.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
