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.
Landlords and being evil are an undefeated combo.
I didn’t know you could fire your landlord.
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.
Landlords can’t be fired, they own the property. He worked for a landlord.
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!”
Property manager is doing an awful lot more than just selling/renting out property.
Yeah, but in the end you’re just an employee, you shouldn’t really give a shit how much tenants pay, you’re equally getting exploited by the actual landlord. It’s just another case of someone thinking they’re in a different class compared to the one they’re actually in, and voting accordingly.
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.
But… I was only pretending!
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?
I lost faith in whatever generated that article when it said the post was shared across the app, and not the site…
Vast majority of its users are using an app and not the desktop site, probably
Reddit is a website, not a program. That’s my issue. This is the same thinking that wifi=internet and it drives me insane.
I understand your frustration completely - I’m just saying there’s nothing to be done about it. I’ve seen this happen when describing Lemmy too.
Are you doing it right now?
No, I haven’t used a mobile client to engage with Fediverse instances. I participate using the website, whether that’s on desktop or on mobile.
Lemmy isn’t fediverse, and Lemmy isn’t “the website.” Lemmy is a “reddit-like” server application that a lot of fediverse instances run on, but there are others. Same way that Mastodon is a “twitter-like” server application. All of these instances interact using the ActivityPub protocol.
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.
I grew up behind the Orange Curtain and now live in the Inland Empire. Mercy kill please?
