    Pierce told Action News Now that under a now-deleted account, he posted that he received mail-in ballots of four previous tenants at the Manzanita Manor Apartments.

    In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for former President Donald Trump, and to vote "no" on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.

    Multiple Reddit users say they reported Pierce's account - "Mancow2000" - to the FBI for voter and mail fraud.

      So either he's trying to cover his butt (which shouldn't be too hard to uncover if they can trace the ballots allegedly used) or he's a dumb troll. Either way, FAFO, I guess.

      In a statement, he said he "did not engage in any illegal activities", adding that his posts were hyperbole, and that he was "too good" at inflaming and angering his audience.

      He says the situation has been "blown out of proportion" and is "so bogus."

        The key to successful trolling is to make up a complex or name someplace you don't work at.

    This post has a screen cap of his actual post. Redditors then combed through his comments to webangulate his identity and reporting him, it seems.

    He's agreed to being interviewed next week lol...buddy, lawyer up and shut up. But he's not my buddy so I hope he talks and go to jail.

        Begging him to represent himself and put "so bogus" in his filings.

      If he was just being a troll, I think getting fired is more than enough punishment.

        for his sake I hope he was trolling. I also didn't like his comment about coercing his wife to vote his way.

          I read two threads on Reddit about that. Sadly, it is still a thing.

      Seems like stupid doesn't learn from his own mistakes. Like first of all, really stupid to brag about doing a felony on reddit. And now he's doing a pretty much similar mistake after being caught...

      Seeing as how he's trying to ruin democracy, I say let him keep making mistakes.
