It just made my morning to see that not only is the AP reporting this correctly, but the headline explicitly states the insane rarity of voter fraud. (Non-citizen or otherwise.) You have a better chance of getting a clear picture of Bigfoot than you do of having a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction.

These people need to redirect their followers' attention and anger onto literally anything but real circumstances. I'm so tired, it keeps working.

Politics is just entertainment for most these days, it seems.

Yeah. I am trying to find ways to disengage from the nonsense without disengaging from my like, actual responsibilities to my society. But the jury is extremely out on how I do that right now. Having my emotions (and everyone else's)manipulated for the gain of others no longer feels useful or like staying informed.
