Simpleton: Lake City Voter Beware

Simpleton: Is anyone else disturbed by the idea that if you case a vote in an election in this town there's a good chance you will be the subject of an investigation, either public or private? That sounds awfully un-American to me. That's something they do in socialist countries, isn't it? Perhaps that's where Brannon got the idea

Question: I have the phone number of another person who is being investigated, simply because she voted absentee and moved during the election. She isn't named in Brannon's lawsuit. Do you think Simpleton could be right -- that there's a good chance in this town that you could be investigated if you vote?
