Authored by dailydot.com

A new exposé from New York Magazine alleges that South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace directed her congressional staff to upvote her in Reddit polls ranking the "hottest" women in Congress.

The bombshell report published on Monday draws on stories from staff members who have worked for Mace since she took office in 2021.

Mace accused her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, and three other men of physical and sexual assault and rape, among other crimes.

Nancy Mace allegedly instructed a staffer to go on Reddit forums about the “hottest women in Congress” to boost her standing in the rankings and comment where needed.

The article states that Mace directed staff to vote for her in Reddit polls ranking the most attractive congresswomen.

This might’ve been the Reddit poll Nancy Mace was trying to rig.
