I hope you’ve been hacked, @GovMikeHuckabee. Trying to undermine the faith of the American people in our democracy with this baseless voter-fraud nonsense? Publicly confessing to committing felony violations of AR Code §§7-1-104(a)(11)-(12)?

Not funny. Not cool. Appalling.

1. Bust him for it. Make an example out of him.

Maybe getting his ass handed to him will shut him the hell up.

[Walleye]

2. Lock him up! Law and order.

Don’t know what these guys think they’re accomplishing by committing these felonies. Then he confessed online like many other idiots following trump.

[Nevilledog]

4. I believe he's attempting to be funny.

He failed.

[Walleye]

5. Right. But a lot of morons will think it's a good idea.

Fucking trump told them to try to vote twice. Remember people actually did drink bleach. They would wear masks if he told them to.

[SheltieLover]

3. Lock him up!

[gratuitous]

6. Don't quit your day job, Mike

If you have one.

[Baked Potato]

7. Ah Chuckashucks! You should take that routine on the road! Pack 'em in!

[Maeve]

8. Thinks he's a wit. He's half right

Sorry. Old insult....

[PatSeg]

9. What is wrong with these idiots?

Can you imagine how they would respond if a Democrat make a joke like that?

[Liberal In Texas]

10. I figured they'd try to prove voter fraud - by commiting it.

Any funny business in mail-in ballots after election day will no doubt be due to them putting fake ballots into the system to prove there was voter fraud and make a case to get the rest of the ballots thrown out.

[wnylib]

13. Maybe this is why Trump believes

he will win? Are there actually R's sending in several ballots per person, using different names? Will we have to spot check some ballots to be sure they are valid?

[Mr.Bill]

14. They don't spot-check mail-in ballots.

They check all of them.

[wnylib]

24. Good to know. They check, then,

that the name is a real person who is still living and a qualified voter in the place where the ballot is sent? I've never voted by mail and have no idea how it works.

11. When You're In Power, You Can Encourage People To Commit Felonies

I'm sure he'll help bail out anyone who takes up his suggestion.

[Marcuse]

12. Maybe his daughter wrote it.

[canuckledragger]

15. I'm sure he'll blame some kind of scapegoat

If it backfires on him. They always do.

[Upthevibe]

16. He's an effing idiot.....

and so is his disgusting daughter....And BTW, this week a Republican was arrested this for trying to get a ballot for his dead mother.

[Mr. Evil]

17. Until they're arrested, prosecuted, convicted and jailed...

this will continue and get worse. It's far beyond time for examples to be set.

[elleng]

18. Not funny. Not cool. Appalling

[Initech]

19. *epic facepalm*

[keithbvadu2]

20. Just following Trump's advice.

Just following Trump's advice.

21. Isn't that a Twitter violation on Huckleberry's part?

Time for that asshole to sit in the timeout corner for a while.

[Cadfael]

23. I agree

I reported that one to Twitter as “misleading about a political election or other civic event”

[SMC22307]

26. Thanks. I haven't checked Twitter this morning...

but that sucker needs to come down.

[madeup64]

22. Like always these idiots don't seem to understand how things work.

I can't speak for Arkansas with 100% certainty since I don't live there. However I've got to imagine that their voter database is connected to their DMV and the social security database. If someone tried to request mail-in ballots for his dead parents it would be hard because they're probably not even listed as registered voters. If someone tried to register them it would trigger an investigation.

The same thing if you are requesting a ballot for an imaginary person. You can't just make up a person and register them to vote because you need a social security number and a name and they have to match in the social security database.
Computer technology makes committing voter fraud almost impossible. And even the ones that may get away with it at first they're going to get caught absent some ability to hack the computer systems you know like Russia did.

If you request a second mail in ballot saying you lost your first one the first one is automatically cancelled out. If you tried to return it the computer system would flag it.

In Arizona the voter registration system is tied to the court system so if you get convicted of a felony the SOS gets notified and you will be kicked off the rolls. You'll get a letter saying you're a felon you've been removed from the rolls.

Considering how hard Republicans try to keep people from voting it goes without saying that in every state that they control the state legislature and the executive branch they are going to spend whatever funds necessary to ensure that the voter registration database is accurate and well-maintained and able to catch any instances of voter fraud. It sure is here in Arizona unlike any other state government function. And since he was the governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee damn well knows that too.

The funny part is there's going to be Trump supporters in quite a few states that are going to try to do this ( probably the ones that were lucky enough to survive drinking bleach) and are going to get in a lot of trouble and we should all point and laugh and them.

25. Report Huck's tweet

I did
