"He broke the law. Like, the governor broke the law. And, actually, it was his wife cause she ended up handing the ballot in, and that's the trigger for violating election law. She's the suspect," GOP State Rep. Seth Grove of York County told ABC 27.
Is this bad writing or just an illiterate person? “He broke the law, like the Governor broke the law”. Who is the second person broke the law like the Governor had done?
The transcription is fine. You altered the punctuation from the source. As originally written, it’s a clear expression using a filler word, “like.” I was a court reporter for ten years.
