Oh Sure, Republicans were just testing how easy it was to commit voter fraud. Fail on both counts.

Getting caught committing voter fraud has a new excuse; I was just testing the system.

Try saying that after trying to rob a bank, a convenience store, or anything illegal. “I was just testing the system?”

Let’s hope this lame and laughable excuse is seen for what it is, another lie and prosecutable.

TPM: Two Republicans in separate states were taken into police custody during the past week for allegedly attempting to test how easy it would be to commit voter fraud.

In Nevada, 56-year-old Roxanne Rubin, a Republican, was arrested on Nov. 2 for allegedly trying to vote twice … Rubin “was unhappy with the process; specifically in that her identification was not checked.”

On Tuesday in New Mexico, a Republican poll watcher was taken into police custody after also apparently trying to test the system. According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, the man voted, then obtained a second provisional ballot and announced he was simply “testing the system to see if people could get away with voting twice.” Santa Clara, N.M. Police Chief Lonnie Sandoval said, “From what we understand, he was trained by the Republican Party.”
