A Trump supporter last year was caught impersonating her dead mother at a polling place — but she won’t face charges, despite committing a clear act of voter fraud.

The woman, whose name was redacted in the Board of Elections’ report, explained to authorities that her mother was a “tremendous Donald Trump fan” who had died just weeks before the 2016 election. The woman said that she wanted to make sure that she voted for Trump in her mother’s name to fulfill her last wish.

“If anything happens, you have my power of attorney and you be sure to vote for Donald Trump for me,” the woman’s mother purportedly told her shortly before she died.

Prosecutors decided against charging the woman with a crime because she sincerely believed that impersonating a dead person at her local polling place was not an act of voter fraud.

The death penalty is too good for scum like this. She should be dragged through the streets alive while being beaten with pecan limbs.

She didn't intend to break the law, kinda like Hillary.

Lacked intent which is key to all crimes, you know.

Hum... the article doesn't say if she also voted under her name.

So, was this some old lady who was a little distraught with the very recent death of her mother and just wanted to cast her vote in her mother's name? Or is this someone whom intentionally set out to disrupt the election process and change the election outcome like the DNC attempted to do?

Seeing that the DA decided not to prosecute, I'm going with the former.

Good. Voter fraud should only count for illegals and/or non-patriots. TRUMP voters should get to vote as many times as they want to.

She should be prosecuted. Grief and state of mind may be mitigating factors but every case of voter fraud should be prosecuted.

Good, then I assume you fully support voter ID laws, right?

I've never heard it happened on the right, just interesting. Democrats still won the dead vote a million to one, though...

Voter fraud is an insignificant thing no one should worry about unless they're racist

You guys said electing Trump would be the beginning of the end of human civility as we know it, and here you all are bitching about a fraudulent vote in NC, Pavarotti, and how many NFL players showed up at the white house.

So sad.

I'm suprised that this even pisses you off so much since you were so quiet when that DNC contractor was caught on tape describing how they take bus loads of illegals in to vote dem every cycle.

From what is presented in the OP this is my obvious conclusion. If true, it is a technical violation at most.

And of course, voter fraud doesn't exist.

Seems fair. 1 Trump voter vs. 2 million Hillary illegal votes.
