I see the potential to convict about 20000 to 40000 individuals here of federal election fraud, a felony, and even without them doing a day in jail or being fined, they would be stricken from the voter roles forever. Wouldn't that be a nice present for 2008?

Slight problem; in Wisconsin, once their sentence is up (both jail and probation), they're back on the voter rolls. What you can do with convictions is bar them from public office (and there's a few of those that need to be prosecuted).
