My uncle lives in Eastern North Carolina. He’s always on Facebook proudly talking about his support of Donald Trump and his hate of Hillary Clinton. He is openly racist, homophobic and xenophobic. He can get away with it where he lives. This weekend he posted something on Facebook that got my attention. He said, “If Democrats are going to cheat, we may as well too.”
He’s the primary caretaker for my grandmother. She is in her 90’s and has severe dementia. She doesn’t know who she is. She hasn’t voted in an election since 2012. Interestingly enough, I can go to the NC State Board of Elections and search her name and see that her mail in absentee ballot has been accepted.
I have no proof that my uncle did this. I sent him a text to ask him if he knew about her mailing in a ballot. He replied back “Dems try to steal the election from Trump. I won’t let that happen.” The question is, do I let this go. It’s one vote. Does it matter? Or, do I challenge the ballot in some way?
What would you do? I’m not super close to my uncle, but my mother is. She won’t say anything.
