Alabama state Rep. David Cole seems to be the latest in a long list of such Republican frauds, and his story points to the GOP’s rank hypocrisy when it comes to protecting the ballot from cheaters.Republican Rep. David Cole of Huntsville will plead guilty to a charge of voting in an unauthorized location, according to a plea agreement filed in state court. He will resign from office on the day he enters his guilty plea.
According to the plea agreement, Cole used that fraudulent address to vote — and another unauthorized address, too.Cole used the “H.S” address to vote absentee in the May 2022 primary and to vote in-person in the June 2022 runoff, the plea agreement says. In response to media questions, he gave an altered copy of his lease with “H.S.” to his campaign manager that said he was renting a house instead of a “5x5″ area.
Cason also notes that Republicans basically ignored the allegations against Cole when confronted with them during the GOP primary last year:
