Making the Rounds on FB: BREAKING: “Tens of thousands” of fraudulent Clinton votes found in Ohio war

http://www.snopes.com/clinton-votes-found-in-warehouse/


There is no truth to the above-quoted story. 

Christian Times Newspaper's report described the above-displayed photograph as showing "Randall Prince" with his discovery of pre-marked Clinton ballots, but this picture was actually taken in 2015 in Birmingham, England, and simply captures a man unloading a truck of ballot boxes at a polling station. It appears that CTN altered the photograph (removing "Ballot Box" from some of the boxes and reversing the image) in an apparent attempt to make it difficult to find the original picture:

Bad enough before they went thru the trouble of manipulating the photo. Johnny photoshop's gonna have some explaining to do at the golden gate.

You can see how the rubbing out is crudely done (tones don't match).
The stripped in text doesn't match the perspective of the boxes.
The box he is holding has the original text (now reversed).

They are really stupid.

If we hear about secession, I suggest we entertain the idea rather than blow them off. Let them have their christian nation - now that is wall I can get behind.
