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.

    They have to know who they sent mail-in ballots to. Would be pretty simply to figure out that their mail-in ballots were used. Then when asked they’d just say “wtf you talking about? I didn’t get a ballot in the mail.” Then they’d track down where the ballot got sent. To the landlord at their previous address.

      So just ask for a mail in ballot, vote twice and deny it.

      Even if the ballot went to a different address I’m not sure that gets you off the hook that easily?

        They have ways to verify the ballot. I’m only talking about how they’d find the person who did it if they didn’t actually double vote. If the ballot was verified then they’d have to take a closer look at the ballots, especially the signature. If they’re still verified, well, enjoy the charges.
