"We gotcha! We found proof that you illegally voted! Hypocrite! Hypocrite!" has been the song-and-dance since the fucking 1980s.

I've never heard of a single person whose opinion was swayed on these grounds, because you either

a) Don't give a shit about "illegal voting" as an issue

b) Know exactly what an "illegal voter" looks like, because you're a hyper-partisan hack who can hear the dog whistle

I read the article, and we know what an illegal voter looks like, we know his name, and even his current address.

Every accusation is a confession.

Violating is what he does best.
