Voter Fraud Arrest in Las Vegas

Woman arrested on felony count of voter fraud for trying vote twice on Friday. She's registered... (wait for it) REPUBLICAN.

Investigators today arrested a Southern Nevada woman suspected of trying to vote twice this week at two different polling locations.

Roxanne Rubin was taken into custody as she arrived for work at the Riviera hotel-casino, investigators said. Rubin, 56, is a registered Republican who lives in Henderson, according to the Clark County Registrar.

Rubin allegedly cast a vote Monday at the Anthem Community Center in Henderson. Later that day, she tried to vote a second time at an early voting location on Eastern Avenue, investigators said.

FOX "News" told her the other side is doing it so she figured it was only right the Republicans should be able to as well.

I don't think that's the type republicans had in mind when they were screaming about "voter fraud."

Or so she thought. Only those "minority people" are supposed to be stopped from voting.... Not white Republicans.

This is the first year I have early voted and I keep thinking
I need to go again. If I had a touch more dementia, I'm
sure I would.
