Jack Posobiec is very concerned about voter fraud. An influential MAGA voice and prominent conspiracy theorist, he’s perhaps best known for amplifying the 2016 “Pizzagate” conspiracy, which culminated in a man firing a gun in a D.C. pizza restaurant. In the years since, Posobiec has loudly espoused a range of debunked conspiracy theories. That includes the GOP theory—once semi-fringe and now thoroughly MAGA mainstreamed—that Democrats have won elections via millions of fraudulent votes.
The focus on voter fraud in Pennsylvania is particularly ironic because it sure looks like, and a trail of documentation suggests, that Posobiec is living in Maryland but voting in Pennsylvania. If so, that would be a violation of voting laws, experts say.
The 40-year-old Posobiec has voted in Pennsylvania elections from 2004 to 2024, both in person and by mail, according to a copy of his voting record viewed by Slate and the Handbasket. Until 2016, Posobiec used military and civilian overseas ballots. After resigning from his job as a Navy Reserve intelligence officer in 2017, he remained in Maryland while becoming a full-time influencer and political activist with groups such as Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. He continued voting in Pennsylvania via absentee ballots and, later, in-person on-demand mail voting, using his parents’ home address in 2018, 2022, and 2024, according to an official copy of his voter information file from Montgomery County obtained through a right-to-know request.

That’s not one of the job interview questions:
Question one: Is he MAGA?
*If yes, go to question 2. If no, candidate is disqualified.*
Question two: Is he or she willing to bend or break any law to prevent non-maga from voting.
*If yes, hire for some position. If no, candidate is disqualified.*
It is however part of the ranking process:
Did candidate break the law in the past?
*If yes, rank higher. If no rank lower.*

Mendacity is a qualifier to be MAGA.

They are obsessed with voter fraud because they do it and assume that everyone else is as corrupt as they are.

If he was Black or POC, he’d be charged with a felony.

Republican to English dictionary:
”voter fraud” = “people voting for candidates who are not Republicans, since of course non-Republicans aren’t Real Americans”

It’s easy to check in with the city or county clerk to know whether someone is a resident. Wondering why Slate didn’t say whether they requested the residency information in Maryland (so much easier than parsing social media posts) and whether Prosobiec or his wife had voting history in Maryland. It’s all public information.

The whole system is corrupt.
The moment you vote you don’t know where your vote is going, you might as well write in Uncle Sam.
All politicians are the same and there’s a larger political agenda at play here and it has to do with big spending and lying to the American people.

Wasn’t a black woman sentenced to jail a few years ago exactly for this? Will he get the same treatment?

So he lives in Maryland but uses his parent’s address to vote in swing state Pennsylvania.
Yeah that’s voter fraud.
Reading this article reawakened memories of Trumps former chief of staff Mark Meadows and his wife voted in a state they owned a token piece of property in but didn’t occupy in 2020.
Mark Meadows also burned so many documents after Trump lost that his suits reeked of smoke.
Most cases of verified voter fraud from 2020 were Republicans voting twice, including using an old residence on record like Prosobiec.
Here’s the thing: when MAGA and Republicans criticise anything, they are not making a promise that they won’t do that thing themselves.

This POS is a Pizzagate nut job who tried to cheat on his wife on Bumble, got caught, then forced her to make a video where she says it wasn’t it.

So who is going to prison? If nobody is going to prison for breaking the law, then the law is just a bunch of words on a piece of paper.
