'I Listened to Too Much Propaganda': White Trump Voter Gets Probation After Voting for His Dead Moth

‘I Listened to Too Much Propaganda’: White Trump Voter Gets Probation After Voting for His Dead Mother and Registering Another Dead Woman as a Republican in Pa.
Colin Kalmbacher 15 hrs ago

A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to five years probation after he admitted to illegally casting his dead mother’s ballot for former president Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election.

Bruce Bartman, 70, provided an allocution in front of Delaware County Court of Common Pleas Judge George Pagano during a Friday hearing. Bartman apologized for his conduct and pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury and one count of unlawful voting.

“I was isolated last year in lockdown,” the defendant told the court in proceedings originally reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer. “I listened to too much propaganda and made a stupid mistake.”

Bartman’s attorney, Samuel Stretton, also said his client had made “a very misguided political mistake” that was “very stupid.”

She asked if she could vote, and was allowed to cast a PROVISIONAL vote. Tell that judge to look up the word PROVISIONAL in a dictionary. People assume that all judges are qualified for their job. This woman should not be in jail.

Their constant bleating about voter fraud is fraudulent. They project like an IMax.
