A Michigan prosecutor will not pursue felony charges over a homeowner who displayed a toilet with a sign reading “Place mail in ballots here.”
Ingham County election clerk Barb Byrum (D) reported the Lansing-area display to police, saying taking illegal possession of absentee ballots is a felony, according to The Associated Press.
However, county prosecutor Carol Siemon (D) said the display appeared to be “an effort to make a humorous political statement” rather than any intention to violate the law.

That’s where Republican ballots will go, anyway.
The toilet owner/displayer must be a fellow ‘Rat.

hat this is even a thing shows just how far Liberal Snowflake Triggering Syndrome has really infected the population.
You might even call it “Pandemic”. These people should be isolated and quarantined.

" . . . the display appeared to be “an effort to make a humorous political statement” rather than any intention to violate the law."
Duh. At least THIS judge was able to see the obvious, but I'm not confident that a Supreme Court Justice like Stacey Abrams would.

That this is even a thing says much about the sensitivities of today’s liberal snowflake. This is an example of lawfare, the use of the legal system to harass those of a "wrong" political viewpoint.

I propose said prosecutor have said toilet voting display moved to his office so he can keep an eye on it.
He hasn't anything better to do.

Sure hope the tradesmen in Michigan avoid liberal households.

Good move. The beeotch who'd filed the complaint, and the prosecutor, would have experienced rapid ends to their political careers, to put it nicely. Thanks tcrlaf.
