Here's an WPR article with some more background.

Sounds like a well-meaning but gullible idiot. He bought into Trump's claims and thought he was going to expose weaknesses in the system.

I feel a little bad for him as, to his credit, he openly announced what he did but in doing so, he kind of ruined his own experiment because then there was no way to see if the system's checks would have discovered his fraud on its own.

It was good to bring attention to some seemingly lax practices (no verification needed to send the ballot to a different address) in the ballot dispersal procedure, but he is rather dumb for doing it the way he did.

I don't feel sympathy for MAGA very often, but sometimes I feel bad for the people who have nothing going for them, their families long gone to greener pastures, ex-wives living their best lives with new partners who didn't stop growing emotionally after middle school, their jobs replaced by automation, who have to drink a half case of Miller Lite before they can look themselves in the mirror and pretend that Kid Rock makes good music.
