Prosecute the guilty to the fullest extent of the law. Period.

I will say, however, that our craze to get every single semi-sentient being to vote has opened some loopholes for fraud to take place. The system seems to err on the side of getting every ballot counted, even if suspect, and that bureaucratic urge creates daylight for fraud.

You do see periodic stories about an individual voting when ineligible, someone trying to vote twice, etc. Vote selling and harvesting has apparently occurred on small scales before (LINK), and I can imagine it would be far more effective in local races than any statewide or federal race, which is maybe why it doesn't get a ton of press.

But I've never heard a campaign hiring someone who then committed this kind of widespread election fraud on their behalf. Turns out this guy has made a business out of defrauding our absentee ballot system and offering his services to small Republican campaigns over the years. This isn't even the first time he's been caught.

I think it's important that we don't try to normalize or lump this into something more trivial. Some states only offer voting by mail now, so if that process is ripe for abuse, maybe the Pacific Northwest needs to think about how to secure it.

too bad they didn't mention sentience in the 15th, 19th, or 26th amendments.

There is no state in this Union that prohibits voting on the basis of race, sex, or age.

Here in Virginia, the party that is dedicated to voter fraud is the Democratic party. The Democratic Governor ordered (in direct violation of federal law) that county registrars not to not disclose voter lists as directed by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

“I love my dad and I love my mom,” John Harris said as his father cried. “I certainly have no vendetta against them, no family scores to settle, OK? I think they made mistakes in this process, and they certainly did things differently than I would have done them.”
….First in a phone call and then in subsequent emails, the younger Harris warned his father of both political and legal ramifications of hiring Dowless….He spoke to his parents on April 7, 2017, a day after the candidate met with Dowless. “I told him that collecting absentee ballots was a felony,” John Harris said, “and I would send him the statute that collecting ballots was a felony.” Later that morning, he emailed his father the statute that makes such actions a felony in North Carolina. He also emailed his fears abut Dowless, saying he believed the Bladen County operation was on “thin ice.”

It's not a good look when your U.S. Attorney son tells you what you're about to do is illegal in multiple communications, cites the actual statute that you would be breaking, and then you do it anyway.

Harris is done.

Wasn't a green card holder and single mother of 4 recently sentenced to 8 years in prison for voting, supposedly without realizing it was illegal? And didn't the GOP cheer loudly when such flagrant voter fraud was punished? I'm sure they'll demand equal jail time for Harris given his (allegedly) far more egregious offense.
