Submit it online and it's electronic communications fraud. Wire fraud.

(5,942 posts)4. The potential false statements to the FEC could result in a charge of conspiracy to defraud the U.S.
Rep.-elect Dan Goldman, a prosecutor for the first impeachment of President Donald Trump and a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Manhattan-based Southern District of New York, said Tuesday that the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn should investigate Santos.
Goldman, a Democrat, said in a statement that the allegations in the Times reporting suggest potential false statements to the Federal Election Commission and the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
"The fact that Santos has previously been convicted of fraud in Brazil from which conviction he remains a fugitive underscores the urgent need for his conduct surrounding his most recent election to be investigated," Goldman said.

knowing full well that they are corrupt and incompetent.
They think it is funny that their Party is the Party of Lies and propaganda.
