that Mowers first voted in New Hampshire, where he was working for Chris Christie’s presidential campaign, then voted in New Jersey, “using his parents’ address to re-register in his home state.”in 2020 by registering at a mobile home they never lived in and using it to vote.The natural impulse is to cry “Hypocrisy!” at these revelations — those screaming about voter fraud are the very ones committing it! But that’s the wrong way to look at it.
It’s not just that elite Republicans don’t believe their fantastical claims about the ubiquity of voter fraud.

That game has been going on for a long time. But now, after a couple years in which they were told that election systems are corrupt from top to bottom, Republican base voters have lost all semblance of sanity on the question.
