A woman from Des Moines, Iowa, pleaded guilty to election misconduct for attempting to cast two separate ballots in the 2016 presidential election for then-Republican nominee Donald Trump.
According to the Associated Press, Terri Lynn Rote, 57, entered her plea for the felony charge on June 27. Court documents state that lawyers affiliated with the case are recommending Rote face up to two years of probation with community service on the side.
Rote told police why she tried to vote more than once. She was convinced her first vote for Mr. Trump would be manipulated and changed to a vote for then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. According to her statement to the police, Rote believed Mr. Trump's claims about widespread election rigging.
Sentencing is set for August 15. Rote was arrested in October at a satellite voting station when she attempted to cast the second ballot. According to police records reviewed by the Washington Post, Rote's first early-voting ballot was issued at the Polk County Election Office.
In January, according to the Des Moines Register, Rote's defense attorney argued in a filing that she had "significant mental deficits" that should have prevented her from having to stand trial.
Well of course she has "significant mental deficits," she voted for Donald Trump. Twice!
By the way Rote is one of only four confirmed cases of in person voter fraud identified during the 2016 election. The rest all voted for Trump as well, except the fourth who only changed mayoral votes on absentee ballots she was hire to open, not presidential votes.
Simply put there is NO evidence of widespread in person voter fraud, but what little evidence there is points to the only instances having benefited Donald Trump and NOT Hillary Clinton.
That is why Trump's attempts to prove otherwise with this phony election commission are simply bullshit.
There was a NC case where a man voted 2x in the primaries. He had been the chair of the GOP in his county in the past. I think it got dismissed.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it odd how no Dem/liberals have been proven to have done this.
"he is working for Putin"The President Of The United States never tried to stand up for democracy in the face of an attack on our election process."

This issue is getting twisted. At least since President Obama was elected in 08 the new lines and gerrymandering began. The tea party spin, The electronic machines malfunctioned. The ballot counting machines malfunctioned. The ease of internet voter registration and ID theft. The early ballots, overseas ballots, absentee ballots, the lack of oversight, the lack of paper trail, the hacking, the sway, the fake news. And then the liar running around the country insulting EVERYONE, inciting violence and chaos and begging Russia to hack more. What insanity? America lives by a Document "The Constitution of the United States of America" This country is not ruled by a single person, bully, family, gang, cult, organization, religion nor political party.
ReplyDeleteThis was an ill advised organized effort and collusion to advance an ill global agenda in the making by certain communist dictators and world corruption. Money laundering(loans and invest), human trafficking(adoption and modeling), Drugs(heroin and cocaine)and fraud.
As we know deceitful politicians and rigging elections did not begin in 2016. The 2016 Investigation and case is extraordinarily criminal and extreme treason by certain usa citizens and foreign operatives living within usa. We need to protect our voting system but not provide personal data to be used. Number the ballots and create trail and ID in that manner.
Voters Are Canceling Their Registrations After Trump Request For Voter Data. That's the worst thing that could happen, but exactly what they planned on all along.
ReplyDeleteScaring people so they don't vote at all.
I don't think this is good at all. It's exactly what they want us to do - not vote.
DeleteI have noticed the conservatives/republicants seem to be the ones getting caught at this too. Recall at least 4 news articles about different people since the election all republicants
ReplyDeleteA person with"significant mental deficits" shouldn't even be voting.
ReplyDeleteFor instance: people with advanced Alzheimer's disease. Profound mental retardation. Stupidity.
That last one pretty much describes anyone who voted for Trump.
