We’ve been assured by Democrats over and over that, while voter suppression is a very real thing that cost Stacey Abrams the governorship of Georgia, voter fraud is just a myth Republicans use to justify their ongoing voter suppression efforts. NBC News’ Tom Winter, however, reported a story Thursday that seemed to suggest that voter fraud is real.
NEW: The U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI in Philadelphia have announced the guilty plea of a local elections judge, Domenick J. Demuro there who took bribes in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates.

U.S. Attorney @USAttyMcSwain says, “Demuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear."
The case was investigated by the FBI and @PAStatePolice.

And he was working for which party?

Yeah, not that it matters or anything, just curious: Which party was he working for?
Notice how carefully @Tom_Winter avoids saying in a big, bold title that the Democrat Party Official, Democrat Domenick J. DeMuro, is a Democrat.https://t.co/EfaS2WYYDh

Hi Tom.
What "certain candidates" did he do this for?
What was the political affiliation of the judge. I'm betting since you failed to mention it in your Tweet, both were (D).

Come on man. This guy is a NBC special crime journalist. They don't need the 5 W's when constructing a story.

Hang on, Winter has some more information.
Here are more details on the case, the judge worked on behalf of a political consultant and changed votes for local judicial candidates: https://t.co/IiiRhNTDp5 & https://t.co/E4yGwLPafl

So voter fraud is a real problem that must be addressed. Go on.

Yeah, but there’s no voter fraud. ?

Wait, we keep getting told that voter fraud doesn't happen….I'm shocked. ?
— Hum Spot (@humspot1) May 21, 2020
Impossible. I’m told election fraud never happens.
— Jack Wade (@GKG_77) May 21, 2020
Impossible, I was told voter fraud wasn’t a real thing.

@GStephanopoulos here is some of that proof that didn’t exist.

You're saying voter fraud EXISTS. Why thank you NBC. pic.twitter.com/hOBpKYkpIC

By "certain candidates", they mean Democrat. It's finally mentioned in the second paragraph. They will give him a pat on the hand and allow him to retire with all benefits and claim that justice has been served.

Someone had to say it:
There's no physical way that statistically makes a difference unless vote is already a tie. Which then compounds the scrutiny of the vote counting which reveals the fraud. This is why ballot fraud is such an impossible ruse & a false flag used to justify actual vote suppression.
