Back in 2016, Douglass Mackey, known online as Ricky Vaughn, went to social media with a joke about voting for Hillary Clinton in that year's presidential election via text message.

It was, actually, just an updated version of an election meme that's been around for years. Depending on the political persuasion, it has appeared before as "Democrats vote on Tuesday, Republicans on Wednesday," or vice versa.

That one's comedic value obviously is that an election, for generations in America, has been on a Tuesday, so a Wednesday vote is valueless. Likewise with Mackey's, as there is no accepted process for voting "via text message."

But, the report said, "Under that same premise, it must be assumed that Trump supporters might be duped by Kimmel's suggestion and attempt to vote on Thursday or Friday after Election Day. Thus, they would be deprived of their vote as well. Kimmel must be investigated and charged with the very same crime."
