> [@CarnalK](#): > > slash2k, I am not missing that point at all. I haven’t remotely defended falsely claiming residence somewhere as kosher. I was asking a simple question as to whether it could be a simple mistake wrt voter registration. I’m about as confused as everyone else. How could it be a “simple mistake”? The voter registration people somehow registered him, even though he does not reside in the state? He got on the voter rolls completely accidentally? I just don’t get how on earth this could be a “simple mistake”. Walk me through it. ---

I asked a question above about whether a tick box or another full voter registration form was required while registering to vote when getting a driver’s license. What exactly do you expect me to “walk you through”? ---

What exactly do you expect me to “walk you through”? OK, here’s the confusing part then: Even IF a simple tick box was all that was required to register to vote in the state of Florida… By getting a Florida driver’s license with a FALSE ADDRESS where he was not living, Bannon would then be JUST AS GUILTY of voter fraud as if he’d filled in a voter registration form with that same address. One cannot absolve him of the blame, and call it a “simple mistake” if he got a FAKE ADDRESS Florida driver’s license. ---

Because maybe he only meant to perjure himself to get a drivers license or meet some child visitation requirement and it was an accident to register to vote. It is pretty annoying whenever I question a small portion of some new gotchya everyone here is blissing out on you all assume I am some evil Trump supporter. ---

When I’ve been derided as a Trump supporter, a Sanders supporter and a Clinton fanboy my self reflection has astoundingly not concluded “maybe they’re all right”. The most reasonable conclusion is that a large group of you are pots and pans banging partisans who attack any deviation. ---

When I’ve been derided as a Trump supporter, a Sanders supporter and a Clinton fanboy my self reflection has astoundingly not concluded “maybe they’re all right”. Through your tone and content in these threads, you come across as: a) a Trump apologist, b) always angling for a fight or c) both a & b. That’s all we have to go on, are the words you’re putting on the screen, and if you think everyone has you all wrong, perhaps it’s not us, it’s you. ETA: I’ve never noticed you before these Trump threads, so I can’t speak to what people think of you outside of these. ---

No, it’s you. I have said many times that I prefer a Clinton win and have never been an apologist for Trump. This thread is a perfect example. Simply asking about voter registration at the DMV is ragged on as apologizing for Trump. ---
