From the MarKODA Files-The Potential Voter Fraud Edition:
The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too. https://t.co/GZ5DlaoFPs

Dana Bash to Lara Trump: Trump said FEMA is only offering $750 to Americans who had homes destroyed. That's not true. He's also spreading conspiracy theories who falsely claim disaster $ is being redirected for migrants. Why is he spreading misinfo?
