What if the perpetrators do get convicted of treason and are then executed?

Now is a good time to confess, escape the noose.

The last person convicted of treason in the U.S. was a guy in New Orleans who tore down the U.S. flag at the New Orleans Mint in 1862 right before Union troops seized it. He was convicted by court martial and hanged. And that’s it. No one since.

The perpetrators won’t get prosecuted or convicted of anything, but if they were, it would not be for treason, which is defined by the Constitution and doesn’t include ‘fixing’ an election.
