A resident of Des Moines, Iowa, was arrested Thursday after casting two ballots in the general election, according to a report published Friday.
Terri Lynn Rote, who is 55 years old, was charged with first-degree election misconduct, according to the Des Moines Register.
Rote cast one early voting ballot at the Polk County Election Office and another at a county satellite voting location in Des Moines, according to a police report cited by the Register.
In an interview with Iowa Public Radio, Rote said that it was a “spur of the moment” decision, and that she was afraid her first vote for Trump would be changed to one for Hillary Clinton.
“The polls are rigged,” Rote told Iowa Public Radio.
Rote was released from jail on Friday after posting $5,000 bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 7, according to the Register.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the election will somehow be rigged against him.
Is Trump going to pay her legal fees? Or just pardon her once elected?
Rigged!!!
She thought her vote was “going to be changed.” Because she once saw that on an intro to “The Simpsons” when Homer voting for John McCain was magically changed before his eyes to Barack Obama.
At what point does the spiral down the toilet get faster, because I feel this is agonizing and I want it all to end. Now.
Ever heard the expression, “He who smelt it dealt it.”?
Nah, nah, nah. If she were innocent she’d have to vote at least three times to actually vote for Trump, since the second would only cancel out the first. But what if they changed the second? Now she has to vote infinity times! Her argument just doesn’t hold up. Except you know what? She’s probably a little bit crazy and not that bright.
Give her a talking-to and send her home, poor addled creature.
