real name Mackey, he's been found guilty of conspiring with other people to post "disinformation relevant to the impending 2016 presidential election" on social media, often in the form of "memes," according to a criminal complaint seen by Insider.

carries a potential sentence of 10 years though it's unlikely he'll get that.

As the 2016 presidential election approached, Mackey and his co-conspirators created posts on various social media sites that encouraged people to vote for their preferred candidate by posting a specific hashtag on Twitter or Facebook or by texting the candidate's first name to a specific phone number, the document states.

how many believed they could actually cast a vote this way i don't know.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), in November 2016, Mackey — who had tweeted about limiting the amount of "black turnout" in the election — posted a photo of a Black woman in front of an "African Americans for Hillary" sign that read "Avoid the Line. Vote from Home," "Text 'Hillary' to 59925." On or around election day in 2016, at least 4,900 telephone numbers texted "Hillary" to the 59925 text number, the DOJ said.

Can you imagine the RWCJ reaction if a Democratic operative had been caught and convicted of doing the exact same thing to MAGAt voters??? Another insurrection???

ALL the REAL voter / election fraud and interference / suppression has been perpetrated by the RWCJ “members”.

SAD!!!

There is no justice

She's a comedian, BoBo. Her followers (of whom probably extremely few were Trump supporters in the first place) got the joke.

Also NOT “the same”.

Notice NO word OR number to “TEXT” to in the comedian’s post.

The fact that nearly 5,000 people texted “Hillary”” to the right wing criminal’s posted number should have been BB’s first clue that the two things are NOT the same.

Edit: The right wing criminal’s previously expressed desire to suppress the black vote didn’t help the POS’s case.

<Checks comments in this thread>

Nope; no one mentioned anything about the 2016 election being “stolen” and that “Hillary won!”.

There WAS mention of ANOTHER right wing criminal being convicted for voter fraud / election interference.
