Labeling this as "voter intimidation" or "voter fraud" is certainly a little melodramatic.

The person in question did NOT show up five minutes before closing. She showed up THREE HOURS AND FIVE MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING. Telling someone they can't vote by lying to them and saying the polls close at four, even though they close at seven IS ILLEGAL.
