I know there are probably already laws against it, but is time to jail disenfranchisers

There are people who make conscious decisions to mount campaigns to disenfranchise groups of voters. Those people should be in jail.

1. Disenfranchisers are committing votier fraud which is punishable by 3.5 years in prison and a

$100,000 fine.

4. It should be a much longer mandatory prison sentence with the judge having no leeway in sentencing

"voter fraud which is punishable by 3.5 years in prison and a"

8. Why?

You should have left that harsh desire to see people in torment at free republic. Prison happy Reagan built our monstrously large prison system and got politicians out bidding each other on how 'tough' they are.

We have 5% of the world population and 25% of its prisoners.

9. Voter fraud goes against everything our nation and government was built on

"We have 5% of the world population and 25% of its prisoners"







As to the above thank both parties for the war on drugs.

2. All election fraud should be punished with very stiff federal prison sentences

Since both parties get caught doing it one time or another it's never an issue that is pushed.

As to disenfranchise a voting group by circumventing the law I would agree with you.
But if a state passes a law by the majority then it can become a legal issue that can be fought at the federal level.

If it can be shown the law was passed in malice.

3. They should be sentenced to death.

Suppressing one's votes is treason, and goes against the foundations of America civilization.

5. A tad over the top wouldn't you say?

[former-republican]

6. That's a tough one for me because some groups will use people of less than stellar intelligence

to do their bidding.

[Tanuki]

7. Since the attempts were coordinated, selective and clearly targeted specific groups,

I would think civil rights laws have also been violated. I hope they will get to the bottom of it and prosecute/sue everyone involved.

10. They should have been going to jail for the last thirty years.

Why can't we get something done about it?

12. Election theft is a form of coup d'etat. Charge the fuckers with seditious conspiracy.

Send them to Florence and supermax them until they psychologically break! Make them talk to the walls of their cells until the walls start talking back!
