I was lucky enough to work with Jim Wooten at @ABC
Such a gifted writer … the only person who could use “laconic” in a script & get away with it b/c “it was the right word to use”
His office was filled floor to ceiling with books - all of them he’d read

Sure. You'd just need to:

1) Forge her signature (commit a felony).

2) Hope your forgery is sufficiently accurate

3) Hope that she (intended voter) doesn't call election office and ask about why she never got a ballot (in which case that mail ballot would be deactivated, and it would be investigated if returned)

4) Hope that she doesn't send back a replacement ballot or show up to vote in person (in which case the same as #3 would happen).

But more importantly, instead of showing us a picture of a mail ballot (which could just be from anywhere and is not evidence of material fraud), why don't you answer:

Where are the mass arrests? Trump has been in office for 18 months now. And there have been lots of ambitious Republican prosecutors and sheriffs in office for 6 years since the 2020 election.

And together they've scraped up a handful of individual voters. A few noncitizens vote. A few people voting in multiple jurisdictions.

Hundreds of thousands of hours have been searching. And yet...

What you have is, at best, evidence of a clerical error that yielded no harm.

The firing of "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley marks the latest and most dramatic chapter in the upheaval surrounding the storied newsmagazine and CBS News, as Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss moves to reshape both the program and the news division more broadly.

"This is journalistic interference," former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft tells @GeoffRBennett. "It makes no business sense whatsoever. It's the highest-rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years."

President Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund established by the Department of Justice has hit a setback.

The DOJ said Monday they will abide by a court ruling temporarily pausing payouts that could have gone to Jan. 6 defendants and other Trump supporters.

This comes amid political pressure from Republicans who are upset about the fund. @ElizLanders joins @GeoffRBennett to discuss.

A sitting president not only owning stocks but actively trading them while in office is unprecedented in modern history. We spoke with @DanAlexander21 and @RWPUSA about the implications. @ElizLanders reports @NewsHour

[Dan Alexander @DanAlexander21]

One of the biggest misconceptions about Trump’s business is the idea that he put his assets into a blind trust—or gave them all away to his family members. He did neither.

After President Trump’s visit to Walter Reed lasted for several hours on Tuesday, the White House has released a 3 page memo from his doctor. He took a cognitive test in addition to cardiac and pulmonary tests and a number of labs:

It’s one thing to talk about the stock market, as President Trump does often. But it’s quite another to actively trade stocks while in office.
