Made a good-faith error. She thought she was allowed to vote and only tried to cast her ballot once.

Since we first became aware of her case, though, we’ve been hit with a barrage of Trump-leaning MAGA Republicans casting ballots not just once but multiple times, despite the rules of one man, one vote.

Go figure.
