WHy?.....................
Regardless of motive, she committed fraud!
btt
Because she broke the law. She could have made the point without doing that in the manner she did. It calls into question her judgement.
It's akin to breaking into a computer system "to show it can be done", or downloading child porn "to show it can be done", or any other number of actions AFTER a person has been caught.
She should have indicated her intent *before* she requested the ballots. Indicating her intent after the fact calls into question her motives. Lastly, she lied to her supervisor about someone fraudulently requesting absentee ballots. Why would she do that if the point of her actions was to show how easy it is to fraudulently request absentee ballots?
