A Florida man apparently tried to follow President Donald Trump's instructions to voters to 'test' the electoral system. Now, he's going to need a lawyer. Newser reports 62-year-old Larry Wiggins was arrested Thursday in Manatee County and faces a 3rd-degree felony charge. He was charged with requesting a mail-in ballot on behalf of another elector. In this case, it was for his now-deceased wife. Wiggins says he was just testing the system, didn't plan to use the ballot, and didn't try to replicate his late wife's signature on her application. I heard so much about ballots being sent in and people just having found them in different places. I said well, let me just send it in and see what's going to happen. Larry Wiggins
