Man charged with wife’s murder illegally cast her ballot for Trump, officials say: ‘I just thought, give him another vote’

The county clerk immediately knew something strange was going on last fall. A mail ballot had arrived from Suzanne Morphew — a woman missing since May.

“There’s posters all over our town,” said Lori Mitchell, the clerk and recorder in Chaffee County, a Colorado community of about 20,000 rocked by Morphew’s disappearance last Mother’s Day. “Constant things in the news about her. There’s people at the grocery store passing out fliers.”

The ballot didn’t have Morphew’s signature as required, Mitchell said. But someone had signed on the “witness” line: The woman’s husband, Barry Morphew.

“I was stunned,” Mitchell recalled. “I couldn’t believe it. I was like, what in the world is going on?”

For a long time, she said, it was just something fishy that her office reported to law enforcement. Then Barry Morphew was charged this month with murdering his wife. This week, things got stranger still: Barry Morphew was also accused of casting his wife’s ballot in a fraudulent vote for President Donald Trump.

Barry Morphew echoed Trump’s false claims of election fraud as the motivation for his own alleged wrongdoing, according to an affidavit filed Thursday in court. The 53-year-old told FBI agents last month that he did it because “all these other guys are cheating” and said his wife would have backed Trump anyway.

Not a very bright guy, but kudos to the clerk for recognizing the problem immediately and flagging it.

This is the new Fake News narrative, now that the DNC/CCP vote fraud is being exposed.

” Everybody does it “.

I saw this a few days ago, It is an easy low hanging fruit hit piece.

but in real life I am not concerned about a single vote fraud committed by a murderer, even if it is a good headline

They couldn’t wait to write this article as the Arizona audit is underway.
Could you imagine if a lengthy article was written for every fake vote by the rats.

Would this even be a story and would this even be posted if he cast his dead wife’s ballot for Biden?
