quote [ A Des Moines woman has been charged with Election Misconduct, a Class D felony, after allegedly voting twice for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Terri Rote says she was afraid her first ballot for Trump would be changed to a vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. ]
That's pretty much the long and short of it. My point is to use that as a preamble to a recent interview on NPR's "Fresh Air" about how rigging an election via voter fraud the way Trump claims is nigh impossible, if not nonexistant.

The logic she is using is "Fight fire with fire". She feels justified in her actions because she is deluding in to thinking that the only way to deal with a deck stacked against you is to cheat and somehow she is righting a perceived wrong instead of doing wrong herself. People will do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to convince themselves that the horrible things they do are OK because deep down they know they are a good person and the people they do them to are evil or less then real human beings.
