    I wonder how they knew it was him…

    But as things are moving in the US, expect similar treatment if you write ‘Trump is an idiot’ in your midterm ballot. Or vote for the Democrat.

    However, it did have Putin’s name on it, so it got counted as a vote for Putin.

    Edit: Presidential elections are every 6 years. Last was in 2024, next is 2030. Doesn’t my comment make me look a fool.

      That’s the trick. First make him a prisoner, then conscript the prisoners.

    I wonder how long before writing “Trump is a dickhead” on a ballot will get you jail time.

      Nah cuz ballots are cast secretly. So there’s no way to know who wrote it. Some 100% safe and fine. No worries friend. Just relax. Everything is fine. Shh.

      Photographing a ballot is illegal, regardless of how you mark it, so doing what this guy did is illegal in the US already.
