Man Demands State Follow Law He Doesn't Understand

“I have no evidence. But I do have a blurry screenshot, vague suspicion, and a deep, seething trust in my own ignorance.”

MISSOURI — A concerned citizen and self-identified “grassroots election watchdog” took to social media this week to blow the lid off Missouri’s entire voting system by referencing a state law he doesn't understand and accusing officials of fraud without offering a single concrete example.

The man—who has no legal training, no government experience, and no understanding of how elections work—claimed Missouri is violating “clear statutes” because, in his words, “you can’t prove they’re not.”

When asked which statute, he confidently replied, “It’s in 115-something. Look it up. I’m not your secretary.”

He then shared a grainy, cropped screenshot of an outdated federal flowchart, scribbled on with arrows and the word “FRAUD?” written in Comic Sans.

“I don’t have to prove anything,” he said while quoting the Founding Fathers and a Telegram account named ‘Patriot4Ever1776.’ “If a certification feels fraudulent, it is. That’s how logic works.”

Election officials attempted to calmly explain that Missouri’s machines are tested, certified, and audited according to state and federal standards. In response, he said, “Doesn’t matter. Fraud vitiates everything. Heard that in a Facebook comment once. Case closed.”

Analysts say this man represents a growing demographic: Americans who confuse screenshots with evidence, feelings with facts, and legal terms with magic spells.

“This is the legal equivalent of shouting ‘UNCONSTITUTIONAL!’ at a traffic light,” said one exhausted county clerk. “And if you ask for specifics, they accuse you of being the corrupt one.”

The conversation spiraled downhill from a video narrated by an AI-generated William Shatner voice, which boldly declared, “Fighting fraud… with Fraud!”—a fitting tagline for a production that accuses others of deception while using a synthetic celebrity voice and zero verifiable evidence.

The video breathlessly accuses Missouri of election violations, relying on a blurry, unlabeled screenshot and the assumption that if something feels off, it must be illegal. It never cites a statute Missouri is violating. It never explains the certification process. But it says “fraud” loudly—and repeatedly—which is apparently enough to launch a full-scale conspiracy theory in certain corners of the internet.

“If certification is fake, the votes are invalid!” the narrator proclaims—without ever defining how the certification is fake, or which law was broken. But in true modern form, the vibes were off. And for these self-styled grassroots, that’s the only evidence that matters.

Curious, one viewer reached out to the real Shatner to ask if he had anything to do with it. His response?
