Everybody Knows, That the World Is Full of Stupid People . . .
And now we know where at least one of them lives: Henderson, NV.
Nevada, like many states, allows early voting. Seems as if one lady in Henderson – Roxanne Reuben – decided she’d take advantage and vote early. She did.
She apparently liked the experience. In fact, apparently she liked it so much she tried to do it again the same day – at a different early voting location.
There was just one small problem. She tried vote both times using her own name.
Oops.
I guess she didn’t realize that some systems do near-real-time updates. And the one used by NV for early voting apparently does that.
She wasn’t allowed to vote the second time. And authorities weren’t too amused by her attempt, either.
Ms. Rubin is now facing felony charges related to her little escapade. Full details can be found in this article.
What a dumbass.
Unfortunately, it appears she’s not the only idiot out there. At least one other similar incident is under investigation.

registered republican too. guess stupidity is bipartisan.
You got it, SFC Holland. No race/ethnic group/religion/philosophy/political party has a monopoly on teh stoopid.
According to a preliminary search, it appears to be that Ms. Rubin is a New Jersey transplant to 1) Las Vegas and 2)Henderson, Nevada. Somers Point, Linwood, Abescon & Smithville, New Jersey are known prior cities of residence.
I saw a story yesterday about a gentleman who bragged on Facebook that he had voted 4 times in surrounding locations in NC and he was headed to vote for the 5th time at his own precinct.
Not sure if he was serious and stupid, or just talking crap.
There was a columnist for the Philly Inquirer named Steve Lopez who used to say vote early, vote often, earn the right to bitch. I guess she was just trusting what she read in the legacy media.
Interesting how “registered Republican” is thrown in there…Ms. Rubin committed a crime, thats all that matters.
@6…
And you know had she been “registered Democrat”, it would have been left out of the story.
Side Bar Comment: Really like the title of this piece. From the song “Banditos” by the Refreshments, the best band you’ve never heard of. Kudos!
Gee, she could have moved back to New Jersey and voted five times, and no one would have noticed. Or Chicago, where multiple votes by dead and/or missing people are part of the glamor of the City of Big Shoulders.
@7
Yip, our politburo just can’t admit Dems would ever do anything shady.
Apparently since now that voter registration folks are on the look out for the names of Disney characters, professional athletes, and Hollywood stars, one John Adolph Hitler has turned up on voter lists in two states (CA and IN, IIRC). Sorry, need to pick a more obscure historical figure folks, no matter what party you belong to.
The locals don’t refer to Henderson as Hooterville for nothing. I hope they fry her dumb butt in her own lard.
@#4, that would be Jim Turner. I saw that on Saturday. I have to think he was BS’ing, not even Insipid is stupid enough to do it, then post it on FB. Here’s the link to one story, http://www.examiner.com/article/north-carolina-man-brags-on-facebook-about-voting-multiple-times-for-obama

LebbenB: to your excellent perception,
I tip the bottle, and bite the lime.
@ Hondo. I’m just waiting for that coal black, sun cracked soul of mine to come alive.
Hells to the yeah – The Refreshments RULE
And here’s hoping she gets nailed to the wall as well as anyone stupid enough to try that crap.
Speaking of stupid…don’t forget BG Siclair’s Article 32 hearing was today.
