    This story amused me. I'm just picturing these nuns waving their rulers at the unruly canvasser spreading lies about them. My favorite part was where the originator of the claim no one lived there was corrected, but then doubled down on them, and added to his claims that the "commies" are falsely saying that nuns live there.

    Benedictine Sisters hit back after GOP canvasser falsely accuses them of voter fraud

    A Pennsylvania canvasser claimed an address in Erie, Pennsylvania a key swing county in a key swing state for the upcoming presidential election – is linked to 53 voter registrations and could be the source of voter fraud.

    However, that address is home to the Benedictine Sisters of Erie – and they’re firing back at what they’ve called a “defamatory” claim from the canvassing group’s founder.

    Cliff Maloney said on Monday that one of his members discovered an address in Erie with several dozen voter registrations – and claimed that “no one” lives there. Maloney is the founder of The Pennsylvania Chase, a self-described “ground-game campaign to knock 500,000 doors to chase GOP ballots & increase GOP mail-in results.”

    “We knocked on the door because a Republican mail-in ballot is unreturned,” Maloney wrote on X. “Our attorney’s are reviewing this right now. We will not let the Dems count on illegal votes.”

    Why am I not surprised? One of the two political parties has an irrational obsession with finding fictitious voter fraud and the irony in this particular case is that the nuns are probably predisposed to vote Republican although in this election it's not beyond the realm of possibility that they could choose to sit out the presidential election while voting for pro-life Republicans down ballot.
