A man who attempted to vote twice in Virginia's 2023 election was acquitted of attempted illegal voting on Monday, following his claims in court that he had been testing the the system for voter fraud.

NELSON COUNTY, Va. — A jury in this bright-red corner of rural Virginia found an avid Donald Trump fan not guilty of attempted illegal voting in a one-day trial Monday, accepting the man’s claim that he was only trying to test the election system for voter fraud when he asked to vote a second time in local elections last year.

    What poll workers should really do, is not detect they’ve already voted and charge them with attempted voters fraud… let them begin voting the 2nd time and then stop them or get them after they completed things.

    Now it’s actual voter fraud and intent is proven.
