Texas man arrested for attempting to vote twice

A Texas man was arrested Tuesday night for attempting to vote twice at a polling station in Fort Bend County, southwest of Houston.

The sheriff’s office confirmed on Twitter that an unnamed man was taken into custody for trying to vote twice, claiming that he worked for Republican nominee Donald Trump and had been administering tests on the system.


A local elections administrator told KHOU the man entered the polling site around 6 p.m. After being confronted by election officials, he admitted that he had voted earlier in the day.

The man was taken to Fort Bend County Jail and will face a judge Wednesday morning.
