This article made me wonder what the punishment is for someone trying to vote more than once in Kenyan elections. Also, I have never heard of claiming to be an idiot used as an excuse in court in Kenya.

[SIZE=6]Woman pleads guilty to voting for Trump twice
An Iowa woman has pleaded guilty to election misconduct for voting twice in the 2016 presidential election. Both votes were cast for Donald Trump.
56-year-old Terri Lynn Rote was arrested and charged with election misconduct on October 28. Rote voted for Donald Trump early in the day at the Polk County election office and then tried to vote again later in the day at another voting location, where she was apprehended. Rote told police she hadn’t initially planned to vote twice but she became afraid her first ballot would be changed to a vote for Hillary Clinton.
Trump often stoked fears throughout his campaign that there have been and would continue to be mass instances of voter fraud, heavily implying that if he were to lose the election the results would not be legitimate. Even after winning, Trump continued to claim that the election was rigged and that voter fraud was the reason he lost the popular vote by nearly three million. There is no evidence to support any of these claims, but that hasn’t stopped Trump from setting up an election integrity commissionto get to the bottom of this nonexistent problem.
Rote entered her guilty plea on June 27 and a sentencing hearing is set for August 15. Prosecutors agreed to drop a perjury charge because in exchange for the guilty plea for election misconduct. Rote’s attorney initially tried to claim that her client suffers from “cognitive limitations” and “significant mental deficits” and wasn’t fit to stand trial.
Rote’s attorney is asking for two years probation and community service. Election misconduct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
