So?

You expect charges to be brought the same day this video is released?
Boy, you're stupid.
Also, dumb ass... this isn't a matter of NATIONAL elections. (see below)
So, you think the video is real and not edited to show something that doesn't
exist.
Thanks.
Also, stupid... how many times do I have to tell you to do your due diligence
and research further than the end of your nose?

In the United States, THE INVESTIGATION OF SUSPECTED VOTER FRAUD TYPICALLY
BEGINS AT THE LOCAL OR STATE LEVEL, NOT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. Here's a general
overview of the process:
Local and state election officials: When allegations of voter fraud arise,
LOCAL AND STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS, such as county clerks, election
commissioners, or secretaries of state, typically initiate an investigation.
These officials are responsible for ensuring the integrity of elections within
their jurisdictions.
Initial review and verification: Local and state election officials review the
allegations, gather evidence, and verify the claims. They may request
additional information, interview witnesses, and examine voting records and
other relevant documents.
Referral to law enforcement (if necessary): If the allegations appear credible
and warrant further investigation, local and state election officials may
refer the matter to local or state law enforcement agencies, such as a
district attorney or attorney general's office.
Federal involvement (if necessary): If the alleged voter fraud is widespread,
INVOLVES MULTIPLE STATES, or has significant implications for national
security or federal elections, the federal government may become involved. The
Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Department of Justice (DOJ), or the
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) might participate in the investigation.
So far, moron... this is a MINNESOTA and LOCAL election problem.
The federal government typically gets involved in voter fraud investigations
ONLY when:
The alleged fraud affects FEDERAL ELECTIONS, such as presidential or
congressional races.
THE ALLEGED FRAUD IS WIDESPREAD, INVOLVING MULTIPLE STATES OR JURISDICTIONS.
So far, stupid... this is a MINNESOTA and LOCAL election problem.
There are allegations of voter suppression or other civil rights violations.
The investigation requires specialized expertise or resources not available at
the local or state level.
In general, LOCAL AND STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
TAKE THE LEAD IN INVESTIGATING SUSPECTED VOTER FRAUD, while the federal
government provides support and oversight AS NEEDED.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
