A man who posted memes about the Hillary Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election has been found guilty of one charge of conspiring against the right to vote.

“Douglass Mackey, also known as ‘Ricky Vaughn,’ was convicted today by a federal jury in Brooklyn of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights stemming from his scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote,” reads a March 31 statement from a federal court from the U.S. Eastern District of New York.
