...Brown also loses his right to vote until his civil rights are restored.

In Wisconsin that means until all fines are paid and he has completed any probation. I think that sentence is too light. There are worse consequences if an election official wrongly questions a voter's right to cast a ballot. Topsy turvy!

My guess is he voted for the Dems, but how exactly would the press figure out how he voted? Name, age, sentence, address are public records. How he voted is (obviously, and thankfully) not.

I firmly believe that the penalties for Voter Fraud/Intimidation and/or Ballot tampering/manipulation should be on a level that no one in their right mind would ever think about risking it.

Seriously. What is the price paid for each and every one of US to enjoy the right and privilege to cast our ballot? Think long and hard about that and then come up with a suitable penalty.

Some ideas that I have are permanent loss of the ability to vote. It should be a felony that requires severe prison time as well as steep financial penalties.

One should also lose claim to any benefits that are derived from the taxpayers (tax exempt status) for organizations like SEIU, ACORN, Planned Parenthood OFA, and so on, that encourage or sponsor Voter Fraud efforts.

Please add your suggestions and your thoughts.

Not long enough in my honest opinion.

The men and women that sacrificed their all for this right should be taken into account.

Voter fraud is a danger to society. More damage can be done by doing it than many “violent” crimes.

IMHO, it should be classed as treason.

BTW, did the article say who he voted for? I suspect democrat down the line with Obama being the featured candidate.

I don’t know. Is it against the law for a presstitute to ask him?

I doubt they even ever try.
