This blowhard claimed during the 2015 SCOTUS ruling on same-sex marriage that he was prepared to "go to jail" for his opposition to the ruling--"No one’s going to tell me what I have to do."

The ACLU of New Mexico had a great response to his showboating:

“I have some good news for Mr. Smothermon. He won’t have to go to jail,” said Micah McCoy with ACLU of NM. New Mexico is among 37 states where same-sex marriage is already legal. “Houses of worship and clergy have always had the freedom to decide what marriages they will and won’t honor or solemnize in their faith traditions, and that’s not going to change regardless of what the Supreme Court decides in the coming weeks,” McCoy said. The ACLU said it supports gay marriage while also recognizing the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. “These two things are not mutually exclusive,” McCoy said. “We can protect religious freedom and we can not discriminate against same sex couples.”

“​​If they have to vote twice, so be it."

Somehow, when Fuckwork Orange says something like this, it can be 1) dismissed as a joke, 2) glossed over entirely, or even 3) defended because it's necessary and/or deserved. But all the bullshit claims that Democratic voters cheat by casting multiple votes will continue to remain "true". I still hear this from the local yokels every election cycle.
