Any verifiable cheating in 2024 should attach a 2 year mandated incarceration in a DC jail.
Fascinating but given the data available, it should be simple to determine the discrepancy in every county.
Here they have known this for years now and haven’t done simple summaries which would better pinpoint the fraud.
Instead, they keep writing articles: ie, they don’t want the problem solved, they want to be able to keep talking about it.
“... a 2 year mandated incarceration in a DC jail.”
You are far too nice because unless there is some permanent physical or financial penalty administered, there will be no deterrent. Short of the death penalty (which I personally have no problem with) there needs to be something done that keeps others from weighing the risk/reward options and then deciding that the reward warrants cheating.
