Voter fraud penalty

What are the penalties for voter fraud? What should they be?

My search of the internet came up with a confusing conglomeration that was hard to sort out and follow. States vary with laws and enforcement, and I think there is another designation specific for federal elections. Do any Freepers have a clear understanding of this?

Seems there aren't that many convictions for voter fraud, and penalties for those few convictions are light.

This is a big issue. There should be a severe enough penalty that would make people think twice before committing this crime.

If Congress could get serious about this, I'd like to see a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years without parole, and lifetime loss of voting privilege. Postal workers would not be exempt. Ignorance of the law shall not be an excuse. Extra scrutiny for postal workers and ballot counters. WDYT?

Voter fraud caught in Germantown, Md. Poll worker either fills out blank ballot or changes existing one. Notice how he looks around before he does it--

If I’m not mistaken, that was when Allen West ran and lost due to undeniable fraud.

"What are the penalties for voter fraud?"

You get money from Soros to run for Sec. of State or DA

The penalty should be death.

And I am not joking.

Meanie. I’m gonna tell Daddy.

[Cobra64]

Pathetic. They are essentially condoning future illegal behavior.

The penalty after conviction should be immediate death.
