A former Bucks County man who claimed he was covered by pardons given by President Donald Trump to supporters who tried to overturn the 2020 election was found guilty Wednesday by a federal jury in Philadelphia of voting twice for Trump in 2020.

Matthew Laiss, 32, was charged by indictment in September of one count of voting more than once in a federal election and one count of voter fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10 and faces a maximum of five years in prison on both counts.

Laiss, who prosecutors said is currently a resident of Bethehem, Pa., had been a resident of- and was registered to vote in - Ottsville, Bucks County, from at least 2012 to around August 2020, prosecutors said. Laiss then moved to Frostproof, Fla., where he obtained a driver's license and registered to vote there.

Around Oct. 31, 2020, Laiss filled out and returned a mail-in Pennsylvania ballot, then on Nov. 3, 2020, Laiss went to a polling place in Florida and voted again.

Almost ALL of the voter fraud is by GOP MAGats.

1. We found one! We found one! And he's a Republican!

2. Clearly this is an idiot MAGA, but I repeat myself.

Why risk imprisonment with a second vote in Florida? Florida?

I don't think this guy's vote was gonna be key to Trump winning there...

3. Faux News has brainwshed the intellectually challenged

into thinking that it's easy to vote frequently and often. Then they try it.

There's a guy in Wisconsin, Harry Wait, who requested absentee ballots for other people just to prove he could. That's like me robbing a bank just to prove I could.

4. Didn't accept a plea bargain eh?

Bye bye

6. And piggy can't pardon him!

[IbogaProject]

7. Actually this is a federal case

So a pardon is possible but not likely as Piggy has nothing to gain from pardoning this fraudster.

8. Darn!

But would you put it pass the 🍊🐖💩 to pardon him anyway?
