Is election fraud a prosecutable crime?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

What are the penalties?

I know nothing. Teach me.

1. Very Much So.

I am unsure of the consequences, but forging anything federal, will have massive repercussions.

2. I would think it would be treason.

Eh?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

7. Treason is hard.

They didn't even prosecute John Walker Lindh with that one.

3. Well, golly

They might have to PAY A FINE or something. Now that would be punishment.
Ouch! My wrist hurts from being slapped.

5. No, it's not.

I mean, I'm not a lawyer, and maybe it says that on paper, but your question suggests possible penalties against those who commited this fraud. Come on. Who is the government? Who are the judges? Who do the police arrest? Who does congress investigate?

When you see Ken Lay in jail, let's revisit this issue.

Until then, just move along. You'll just get yourself worked up.

6. Try this as a primer.

9. I didn't see the word Hanging as a remedy

Was it accidently erased without leaving a paper trail?
