“Some news: I moved to DC this week to cover social safety net issues and how Trump’s administration impacts everyday people’s lives,” Yamiche Alcindor posted a few days before Trump’s inauguration.
Yamiche Alcindor used vote-by-mail to cast her ballots in Florida’s 2020 primary and general elections, The Federalist noted, citing Exhibit A in the American Accountability Foundation’s complaint.
