Despite all the rhetoric and voter-suppression laws, actual instances of voter fraud are extremely rare. But every once in a while, an incident pops up, such as this one, as reported by the Des Moines Register.
A Des Moines woman has been arrested on suspicion of voting twice this month in the general election, police and court records show.

Terri Lynn Rote, 55, was booked into the Polk County Jail about 3:40 p.m. Thursday on a first-degree election misconduct charge, which is a Class D felony.
Apparently, Rote, an enthusiastic Donald Trump supporter, cast one ballot at a local county election office, and then went to a separate satellite voting location to vote again.

The system worked and Rote was caught. The local report added that the Polk County auditor said this was the first time in 12 years his office had to report alleged voter fraud.

The part of the story that struck me as most interesting, though, was the part about her motivation.
Rote told Iowa Public Radio that she cast her first ballot for Trump but feared it would be changed to a vote for Hillary Clinton.

"The polls are rigged," Rote told the radio station.
