AM: Three Des Moines, Iowa residents have been charged with voter fraud after election officials say they tried to vote multiple times via absentee ballot.
According to the Des Moines Police Department, “two people were charged with first-degree election misconduct, and a third person was charged with fraud,” KCRG reports.
Officials say they attempted to submit ballots in multiple locations.
“You can only vote once, and once you vote, you can’t change your vote,” Polk County Auditor Jamie Fitzgerald says.
“When you vote, you get a bar scan, and we scan it into the system. We don’t know how you vote. We don’t care how you vote. But we can scan it in, and then if you try to go to a second (place), like a satellite location, then we try to scan it in. It will say you have already voted.” MORE
So, are they sitting in jail as we speak?
Man, I love to see this. Every instance of voter fraud cancels out a legitimate vote.
Did they rip up at least ONE of their votes?
Party affiliation
unexpectedly not revealed.Iowa? Isn’t that the state that Cruz won!
What will end up happening is the media won’t report on this or if they did it was on the back page. If it gets to trial they’ll plead ignorance and receive a small fine and/or a suspended sentence by a sympathetic Judge (probably a Democrat) and there won’t be any objection from the DA.
If you really wanted to stop this the DA would go for the maximum, determine who the vote was for and if the Judge assigned is of the same party affiliation request the Judge recuse him or her self. Then go for the maximum allowable sentence. Throwing these people in jail for a few years would be the single biggest deterrent to this practice.

Make this a federal felony with a mandatory 5 years hard labor and it will stop.
