Give Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss All the Money
The mother-daughter pollworker duo had their good names dragged through the mud over false election-fraud claims in 2020.
By Charles P. PiercePUBLISHED: JUN 21, 2023
Now it's time for these brave women to get paid.
Take it all. Houses. Cars. Skivvies. Everything. Every stick of gilded furniture. Every stitch of tailored clothes. Every last dime. Leave 'em all wearing a barrel. From The Hill:
...
These two women represented thousands of other of our fellow citizens who volunteer every election cycle to do the scut work of self-government. They're the ones who check the registration rolls. They're the ones who grind away counting votes through the night, a tedious, thankless task on its best days, but one that now has been rendered physically dangerous through the efforts of soulless political vampires, the legions of the political undead....
I'm proud to be Ruby Freeman's fellow citizen. And I hope, a couple of years down the road, she's living in a monumentally tacky seaside mansion in Florida and wondering what in hell you do with a gold-plated commode.

They were doing their job and the vile piece of filth dragged them through the mud for two effing years! Of course the racial innuendo about drugs. I am so angry I am about to explode.
I am so glad they were cleared.

(23,761 posts)you have to have some sort of belief wrongdoing was committed to even start an investigation and there was never ANYTHING other than some nutcases on fox news spewing nonsense. and for that these people had to endure years of investigation? even if someone decided to "look into it", the claims should have been set to rest right after they were interviewed.
their lives were used as props in a sick sick play and they should be compensated for every HOUR of their lives that had to live in fear because of this. I think $100 per hour is a decent rate and it has been about 22000 hours since the election (rough estimate) so that's 2.2 Million EACH. Shit, that isn't nearly enough. $10 million each. And guiliani/drumpf should have to pay it.
