I was afraid of something like this from the pukes. Don't know how true this is or if they'll be able to actually gin up a scandal out of something his brother or sister did but I know they will sure try. It's all they've got.

Now they're trying to smear him with Gillum's siblings voting "illegally" (Original Post)

(6,907 posts)1. This is the problem
But the trouble is months before he cast that 2016 ballot in Florida, Marcus Gillum in an affidavit for an unrelated court case, swore under oath he was a resident of Chicago.
In Florida there is no minimum period of time you have to live in-state per year to be a resident. There are tons of people who are Florida residents who have a home somewhere else. As long as he wasn't voting in Chicago, it would be perfectly legal for him to vote in Florida as a Florida resident. The problem is he swore under oath that he was a resident of Chicago. However, there are many Florida residents who are also residents of other states. There are many people who have a drivers license in another state and a Florida ID card. He did not keep his Florida drivers license and that is another problem. His sister should be fine being a part year resident elsewhere but keeping her Florida license. The big problem is if they voted somewhere else also.

Like Blue True says below, we can't be our brother's keeper or held responsible for their actions.
Thanks.

All of us would have issues. My family is pretty clean, but we do have one or two that isn't. A law abiding person should not be held responsible for a relative that is not.
