Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Agents from Nevada's Elections Integrity Task Force, arrested and charged a Southern Nevada woman Friday, with attempting to vote twice in the upcoming election.

According to the criminal complaint, around Oct. 29, Roxanne Rubin voted in the 2012 Clark County General Election at a polling station at the Anthem Community Center in Henderson.

Later the same date, Rubin appeared at a Las Vegas polling station on Eastern Avenue, and attempted to vote a second time.

The poll worker conducted a routine computer database search, which indicated Rubin had already voted.

Rubin allegedly responded that she had not already voted, but a search of the computer database reconfirmed that she had already voted. However, she insisted the database was incorrect, and told the workers to allow her to vote. Poll workers did not allow Rubin to vote and reported the incident to the Clark County Registrar's Office.

Rubin was taken to the Clark County Detention Center, and charged with one count of voting more than once in the same election, a Category D Felony.
