A clip of Sunny Hostin complaining about how difficult she found it to cast an absentee ballot for her son left social media wondering if she’d admitted to a crime on live television.
Elections weighed heavily on the minds of Americans Tuesday, and with that comes ample discussion on the topic. Daily talk show ‘The View’ was no exception, but one statement by Hostin has people accusing her of committing voter fraud.
Whoopi Goldberg chastized Hostin to “put her phone down” while the co-host was talking. This admonishment prompted the somewhat subdued Hostin to admit that she was talking to her son. While that may seem odd, considering the cameras were rolling, what she said next was more shocking.
Watch:
“I had trouble actually voting FOR HIM, absentee ballot today.”
Sunny admits she voted absentee in place of her son and whines that she had trouble doing it.
“And that made me very concerned.” She warned that they were putting them in an orange bag instead of an official box. pic.twitter.com/l3MLJ7CcuV— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 8, 2022
“That’s my son,” Hostin smiled. “Who by the way, wanted to know if his absentee ballot- was- that I did that. And I actually had trouble voting for him, absentee ballot today, and that made me very concerned.”
Joy Behar asked her “what happened,” leading Hostin to explain that she had been asked “to put it in an orange bag on the floor, and the orange bag to me looked like a Target bag or something.” This didn’t sit right with the host.
“And I said ‘isn’t there a formal election box that says absentee ballots or something like that?’ and then she said ‘let me check,’ and then found it. So that concerned me,” she explained.
But while Hostin was worried about the absentee ballot process, many others were worried that she had violated election law:
That’s the question. Her son is off at college. So, when/where was the ballot delivered? Who filled it out? If he had it, couldn’t he just mail it in?

On national television. And nothing will happen.

Absentee ballots are requested by the voter, sent to where the voter is, filled out by the voter, and mailed back by the voter. Am I correct? If do, @sunny is really batting 1000 this week

You can’t vote for your son while he’s at college or on vacation… this chick needs to be investigated.
