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.
