Voter Fraud Report

Douglass Mackey, aka "Ricky Vaughn," was charged by the federal government with one count of conspiracy to interfere with the right to vote in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 for using social media to spread disinformation about voting in the 2016 election with the intent to get people to fail to cast their votes. Vaughn, a conservative social media influencer with 58,000 Twitter followers, coordinated with others using Twitter to create posts and "memes" falsely claiming citizens could vote online by either "retweeting" certain posts, using a specific hashtag, or through text messages.  Close to 5,000 Hillary Clinton supporters texted the fictitious number provided by Mackey. He was convicted by a federal jury and was sentenced to seven months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised probation, and was also ordered to pay fines and assessments totaling $15,100.
