Why is it that the party who has made such a big deal of "election integrity" is the one whose officials are the ones always implicated in election fraud (or whose President and other GOP officials are currently under a serious grand jury investigation in GA for efforts to steal an election)?

From your linked article:
“The key language we based this decision on was, “a person who forges a signature…” Case law and the forgery statutes require an intent to defraud,” noted Becker in the email. “There is no intent to defraud here. He is simply attempting to assist his daughter in filling out an absentee ballot when she is unable to and doing so at her direction. The proper thing happened when the ballot was to be counted, it was invalidated, but this does not make it a crime.”
Sure sounds like a someone who deserves 20 years in the state penitentiary. Lock him up now!
