A U.S. ambassador claimed her absentee ballot was not counted. We found it was.

The United States ambassador to Denmark, Carla Sands, claimed that she was a “disenfranchised” voter because her absentee ballot was not counted in Pennsylvania. A search of Pennsylvania’s elections website shows that Ms. Sands’s ballot was counted in the state’s Cumberland County, where she spent at least some of her childhood. The state reported it mailed Ms. Sands her absentee ballot on Aug. 25 and that it was accepted after being returned on Oct. 15.

Ms. Sands, a former actress and Republican donor who has been President Trump’s ambassador to Denmark since late 2017, has used her personal Twitter account to echo his campaign of casting doubt on the election results. Since last week, she has shared numerous posts from conservative news media, Republican activists and Mr. Trump and his allies alleging election fraud and improper ballot counting.

Competent and smart adults will be in charge soon, and we’ll appoint an appropriate ambassador.

BTW, can she be charged with lying and/or committing some sort of voting fraud?

Quoting Twitter user @CA_Cedergren in one of the thousands of replies correcting this lying Trump megadonor “Ambassador.”

She’ll soon be selling anti-aging cosmetics on TV infomercials or starting a bogus tax-fraud foundation of some sort, but at least no longer spreading idiocy on our dime.
