Vanessa Rubio, an advisory neighborhood commissioner in Washington, D.C., was fined for committing voter fraud by voting in two jurisdictions during the 2020 election.
She admitted to voting twice but claimed she didn’t think it was illegal because D.C. is not a state.
The District of Columbia Board of Elections found evidence of her double voting and fined her $500. (Trending: FBI Bribery Probe Caught Joe Biden’s Brother On Tape)

“Rubio admitted she voted twice to the board, but said she didn’t think it was illegal because D.C. is not a state, according to the documents,” WRC-TV wrote.
“The signatures contained on the documents reviewed, all of which were associated with an individual named Vanessa Rubio, appeared to be consistent with one another and with other signatures associated with the voter in the Board’s records,” memorandum from the District of Columbia Board of Elections stated.
“After being presented with the image of a Maryland Voter Authority Card … from the 2020 Presidential General Election that bore a signature, Ms. Rubio acknowledged that the signature was hers, albeit a ‘sloppier’ version thereof. She further acknowledged that she owned the property indicated on the MD VAC.”
“She further stated that it ‘is possible that she voted in MD in the 2020 GE, though she ‘d[id] not recall doing so.’ She also acknowledged that she has voted in MD in the past, although she maintains that she does not recall voting there in the 2020 GE. Finally, Ms. Rubio stated that it was ‘never really stated that you are not able to vote in more than one state,’ and thought if one attempted to do so, the ‘system’ would block one from doing so.”
“With regard to Ms. Rubio’s defense, we also take judicial notice of the fact that Ms. Rubio is an elected official,” the Board of Elections said.
“Accordingly, we see fit to hold her to a higher standard than other voters.”
A poll revealed that 17% of mail-in voters admitted to casting a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident.
Rubio’s case is not the only one, as another politician’s wife was convicted in a voting fraud scheme.
These incidents highlight the prevalence of voter fraud and the need for addressing it.
