REDDING, Calif. - A former Redding landlord is in hot water today after recent Reddit posts he made were shared across the app.
Charles Pierce is a 70-year-old former landlord of the Manzanita Manor Apartments in Redding. Pierce says he was fired from his role after his reddit posts came to light.
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.
And he just willingly told all of this to a news station?
“Mail in ballots are a huge source of voter fraud. I’d know, I just filled out and sent in four of them!”
He assumed the rules don’t apply to him. Rules are for the people you don’t like.
He missed the part where you need a lot more money to be able to broadcast your crimes and get away with it.
Landlords and being evil are an undefeated combo.
Mail in ballots require a valid signature to be counted and it has to match the voter registration.
But I suppose, if he had access to former resident lease paperwork, he could have forged the signatures, but now on top of voter fraud you’re entering identity theft territory.
What the elections team needs to determine is a full accounting of which ballots were sent to the apartments and then cross reference that with current residents, and who returned ballots.
Just like how you sign a credit card payment and those are always verified?
It’s kinda crazy to me that we still use signatures for official validation. I’m not saying I have a solution but it seems archaic
It’s an interesting problem. How do you maintain the privacy of anonymous votes while ensuring the integrity of the larger process and all without making it too hard to vote that people don’t have access?
I mean, that’s the way in person voting works too. You sign the voter registration check in and the signatures are compared.
And I’m always sweating bullets, because my signature is never the same…
Well, that’s where ballot curing comes into play.
For mail in ballots, they’ll actually get returned. “Sorry, signature doesn’t match, try again!”
Landlords can’t be fired, they own the property. He worked for a landlord.
Yeah more like a property manager.
Oh look, yet again the supporters screaming the loudest about biggest fraud are the ones committing it.
Every accusation an admission of guilt.

Of course, MAGA Republicans are all about maximum projection since it works so well with the"poorly educated" morons.
Part of the reason to drum it up is because it gives permission to the base to do it themselves. ‘We have to commit fraud because the democrats are committing fraud!’

I’m assuming he’s the property manager (you can’t fire a landlord). Some places give the property manager an apartment to live in, so he may have also lost his place to live. And at 70 years old, he’s not going to have an easy time finding another job.
Hopefully he won’t have to worry about a place to live, as the felonies he committed will get him a cushy cell, complete with a roommate!
A landlord. Shocker.
Property manager, maybe? You don’t get fired from being a landlord, you sell the property.
He says the situation has been “blown out of proportion” and is “so bogus.”
Is this what happened to Bill S. Preston, Esq.?
“this is non-non, non-non-non, NON-heinous!”
And somehow didn’t even own the building if he could be fired? So wasn’t he really more of a building supervisor or something?
It’s super cool how the cheating comes from “inside the house.” Fucking hypocrites.
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.
But, Pierce says he didn’t actually do what he posted.
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.”
So bogus. Wait, is that the word of the…
Trolling as a defense for admitting a major crime. So bogus.
Bogus.
So bogus.
Wait, how do you fire a landlord? Did someone else have some kind of contract with them that allows them to take ownership of the property? Or is this guy more something like a property manager and not the actual landlord owning the place?
Fucking Redding. I’m not even surprised. SoCal and NorCal are basically two different states.
Inland Empire, Bakersfield, and Orange County would like to have a word with you.
Dont forget Johnson Valley, Landers, Yucca and 29!
I grew up behind the Orange Curtain and now live in the Inland Empire. Mercy kill please?
