Arkansas attorney general committed voter fraud

She is a rabid trump supporter.

http://www.arktimes.com/arkansas/leslie-rutledge-is-not-fit-to-be-attorney-general/Content?oid=35225054. She supported Arkansas's unconstitutional voter ID law, committed voter fraud herself and was tossed from voter rolls for being simultaneously registered to vote in three states. Before the Arkansas Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional, Rutledge pledged to defend Arkansas's voter ID law. In the May primary, the law disenfranchised more than 1,000 Arkansas absentee voters whose ballots would have been counted if not for the unnecessary and politically contrived law. One vote that shouldn't have been counted? Rutledge's in 2008. After moving to work for the Huckabee presidential campaign, she registered to vote July 3, 2008, as a permanent resident of Washington, D.C. Then on Sept. 15, 2008, she requested an Arkansas ballot to vote absentee in the 2008 general election. She had to affirmatively swear on the absentee ballot application: "I reside within the county in which I am registered to vote." Her explanation? She said she voted where she knew she was registered. Rutledge's voter history came under scrutiny after Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane canceled Rutledge's voter registration after learning she was simultaneously registered to vote in Pulaski County, Washington, D.C., and Alexandria, Va.

1. I saw her on CNN yesterday or the day before with Wolf Blitzer.

She is an absolute horror story. No matter how many times he asked her about the "Obama is the founder of ISIS" story, she gave the same answer: "Hillary is corrupt, Hillary is corrupt, Hillary is corrupt.......blah, blah, blah." It was incredible. Blitzer looked like he wanted to tear his hair out and kept repeating the question and getting the same answer like a tape replaying on a loop

She never answered a single question and changed the subject every
time she was asked a question into a clinton attack.

That's what most republicans do.

They dont talk about politics to me since I told them.."you want Union Wages,Union benefits but yet on election day you pull the lever for the guy that wants to take all that away from You"..no reply from any of them except to say "Hillary is corrupt"
So that must be the standard script for Republicans.
