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.

    It’s kinda crazy to me that we still use signatures for official validation. I’m not saying I have a solution but it seems archaic

      I mean, that’s the way in person voting works too. You sign the voter registration check in and the signatures are compared.

          Well, that’s where ballot curing comes into play.

          For mail in ballots, they’ll actually get returned. “Sorry, signature doesn’t match, try again!”

          Yeah when I registered to vote at 18 my signature is nothing like it is today. I try to replicate it. It was such a shitty signature. My votes might be getting tossed for all I know. Does anyone know how to update your signature for voting?
