is there legal exposure for groups who deliberately lie to trick people

[drray23]

in how they cast their vote ? In Kansas a republican outfit was texting voters to tell them to vote YES to protect abortion rights which is a bald faced lie. It's actually the opposite that's true.
Can this be considered election fraud ?

1. I wish

I got tons of those text messages until I told them to stop I was voting NO. They still tried this morning again.

2. Probably not

Usually, money has to be involved in order to get someone in trouble for knowingly lying. Scams, cons, RICO, these kinds of things are usually where there are legal consequences. I do wonder though under various things like wire fraud, mail fraud, etc., if charges couldn't be brought.
