Summary
A 24-year-old man, Daniel Schmidt, was arrested after allegedly disrupting a voting line and assaulting an election judge in Orland Park, Illinois.
Schmidt reportedly attempted to skip the line, ignored repeated instructions to wait, and punched an election judge who tried to stop him, knocking off their glasses.
Other patrons restrained him until police arrived, at which point Schmidt resisted arrest. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated battery against a person over 60 and resisting arrest.
Gee I wonder who he supports.
The funny thing is agg. battery is a felony in Illinois which means he would lose his right to vote.

Hopefully he did this before he voted
according to the article he didnt wait in line. thats the punch line
Another trump turd who will not vote.
Let me guess who he was planning on voting for.
FUCK YOU OLD MAN I NEED TO PROTECT WOMENS HEALTH!
Magats PUNCHING elderly people is JOE BIDENS fault because Joe Biden NEVER told Republicans NOT to Punch Elderly People! Family Values!
If Trump claimed it was Joe’s fault because he punches elderly people in the face every day, 30+% of the country wouldn’t just believe it without question but would start claiming it immediately.
Let me guess: registered as Republican, yes?
Good. One less.
Breaking news: we have confirmed he was republican based on a misunderstanding in Lemmy comments.
That’s one way to stop a trump vote, ask them to follow the rules and be curtious to others till they punch you in the face and get ejected from the voting location.
We need more people that can take a punchat voting locations. We only have so many old people.
He was probably thought it was Paul Pelosi.
These people are brainwashed. Should get years tacked onto any sentence for political violence against public officials. Treat it like he assaulted a cop.
What a piece of schmidt.
Which party I wonder…
Man, so much violence from both sides… It’s hard to say.

The one prone to violence and has control issues, then wonders why no one likes them except dumb, or sociopathic people, so they make up false equivalencies and conspiracies to justify their own sad existence? Hopefully the voters wake up and do a purge. Especially in the midterms.
“Libertarians” who always seem to vote Republican
That of law and order, supposedly
Gotta keep the pigs employed somehow.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Sounds like he won’t have to worry about voting for a long time, since I’m guessing theres at least one felony somewhere in those charges.
- 2 counts of Aggravated Battery to a victim over 60 (Class 3 Felony)
- 2 counts of Aggravated Battery in a public place (Class 3 Felony),
- 5 misdemeanor counts of Resisting Arrest
- 1 misdemeanor count of Disorderly Conduct
