Donald Trump has been complaining for weeks now that the presidential election is “rigged” and that there is “large scale voter fraud” happening across the country. But ironically, it was one of the Republican presidential nominees own supporters who was arrested for voter fraud recently.
Terri Lynn Rote, a registered Republican, was arrested Thursday in Polk County, Iowa, on first-degree election misconduct charge after attempting to vote twice in the general election, according to Polk County Jail records.
The charges are a Class D felony in the swing-state, where early voting began Sept. 29.
A police report obtained by The Des MoinesRegister says Rote allegedly cast an early voting ballot at the Polk County Election Office — and then another ballot at a county satellite voting location away in Des Moines.
Rote told Iowa Public Radio that she returned to the polls because she was afraid her first ballot for Trump would be changed to a vote for his Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton.

“I have real problems with ballots being sent [in early],” Trump said at his rally at Golden, Colorado, on Saturday — hinting that ballot collectors might be throwing ballots away. “We have a lot of people watching the people that collect the ballots … Whatever the hell you have to do, do it.”

Two South Florida women were arrested Friday morning after allegedly committing election fraud, according to the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
Gladys Coego, 74, and Tomika Curgil, 33, were arrested in unrelated incidents in Miami-Dade, authorities said.
Election support specialists are prohibited from bringing pens or pencils into the ballot sorting room but Coego had concealed a pen in her purse, officials said.
She later admitted she had marked a number of absentee ballots involving the Miami-Dade mayoral race that had been left blank, marking each for Raquel Regalado.
Regalado (Republican) is battling incumbent Carlos Gimenez for the position.

“It’s irresponsible and it’s ignorant at best,” Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican and a lead election official in his state, told POLITICO. “It’s very troublesome and I can assure you there is no deep-rooted conspiracy here in the state of Utah to have a rigged election.”
