It’s shocking to see how little respect the prosecutors and the judge have for our electoral process. IMO, 400,000 illegal registrations calls for some serious jail time. It’s literally impossible to pass this off like she didn’t know about it either.

Our electoral process is a part of something else they have absolutely no respect for, and have recently proven the point I’m making, you are making with their vehement disapproval of the reading of it opening the 112th Congress.

I wonder how much money the judge got?

Unfortunately, it looks like the judge's hands were tied here. Voter fraud is a Class E felony in Nevada. By statute (NRS 176A-100(1)(b)), with a Class E felony, "the court shall suspend the execution of the sentence imposed and grant probation to the person." (emphasis added)

The court may only decide not to suspend the sentence if the defendant was on probation or parole for a felony when the crime was committed; had previously had probation or parole for felony conviction revoked; had previously failed to complete a court assigned rehab program; or had previously been twice convicted of felonies. As far as I know, none of those apply to Busefink.

So, it seems like the judge and prosecutor aren't to blame here, but rather the Nevada legislature.
