You gotta see this. Woman arrested in Las Vegas for Voter Fraud, trying to vote twice.

[politicaljunkie41910]

The first photos didn't provide any data about the woman and all the comments were that she had to be a democrat. I had to track down the story.

1. I'm guessing that she's from ACORN. (Dripping with sarcasm)

[LisaL]

3. She is a registered republican.

22. TN Woman, head of state GOP Women, was indicted for voter fraud here a couple years ago.

She had actually gone to another precinct and voted under someone else' name.

Sheesh!

I learned at 23 that those who accuse you of doing something are likely doing it themselves. My fiance kept accusing me of "playing around" when he was out of town on business. After we broke up, lots of people cam forward to tell me how widespread his cheating behavior was. I was stunned, but it was a good lesson.

4. Fail.

Be sure to cash your Troll Check before Tuesday.

12. Everybody calm down.

I read the ACORN bit as sarcasm (without the tag). The OP stated the comments in the initial story speculated the lady(?) was a democrat. S/he had to track down the original story which ID'd the offender as a republican. Therefore the ACORN comment was .

17. +1 nt

5. Actually, she's a registered Republican. And did you know ACORN doesn't exist any more?

Either you're being sarcastic... or something else.

[Tutonic]

6. DId you read your own post? Says she is a Rethug.

I'm sure she's from Freeperville.

[politicaljunkie41910]

10. That was intended to be sarcasm. I knew she was a Repub.

[Raster]

11. I'm guessing you won't be around much longer.

Enjoy your brief stay.

16. your sarcasm meter is broken

you should probably tone down the threats till you get it fixed.

[Raster]

18. I haven't threatened anyone. And before you jump...

...maybe you should learn the facts.

The post I responded to DID NOT have the "dripping with sarcasm" language when I made my post. Of course, you weren't in the thread at that time, so how would you know?

So the original comment was apparently anti-ACORN until modified. Read through the other posts, you'll get the gist.

And just so we're clear, I MADE AN OBSERVATION. I see no threat there. If you do, than please, ALERT.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. I did actually see the post when it was unedited

and it was clear hyperbole/sarcasm.

your post is clearly intended to make someone not feel welcome at DU.

[Raster]

21. No, it wasn't clear, and I wasn't the only one that took it that way.

Have a nice day.

2. Of course, she's a Republican:

"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."

[politicaljunkie41910]

9. Check out these earlier comments where they were sure it was a Democrat.

[moobu2]

7. I was reading all the responces

pretty funny really, the comments that is.

[arcane1]

8. This *Republican* woman is the first one in 15 years to try this in that region:

"While allegations of voter fraud or faulty voting machines are common during a busy election, Clark County Registrar Larry Lomax said this is the first time in his 15 years on the job that a voter has been arrested for trying to cast two ballots."

[marsis]

14. How mant times

has she and her ilk done this and gotten away with it?

[SharonAnn]

23. No, it said it was the first time in his experience an arrest was made.

People may have been doing it before and getting away with it because the central data base wasn't accessible at the polling places or ???

[modrepub]

13. Kind of Demonstrates Voter Fraud

is not that easy and definitely not worth it.

[Smilo]

15. Yeah Nevada - of course, SoS Miller is a Democrat

so:

1. Democrats are more honest than their GOP counterparts
2. Fox News will say this was a set up

BTW NV doesn't require photo ID and they still caught her


Reading the comments on the article wow - from "no harm done" to "the left will say........" and if this had been a Democrat you sure as hell know they would be holding a public rally and outcry at the SoS office. The GOPT really should change their moniker to Grand Old Party of Hypocrisy - We Lie and Cheat our Way to Win.

19. Did she have to show ID?
