Subject: Re: Powell cops a plea deal
And note the details of the plea agreement. She pleaded guilty to six MISDEMEANOR charges of election interference. The prosection REMOVED the criminal charge of racketeering. She might help the prosection tie together details which might simplify making the case against others but removing the criminal racketeering charge might be construed as weakness in that larger case. And now that we know that election tampering isn't an outlier strategy, states need to re-examine election laws and ensure such actions are reclassified as criminal offenses with much steeper penalties.

If these participants keep pleading out to MISDEMEANOR charges and avoid jail, we now know there are THOUSANDS of clueless idiots in every community willing to perform these acts at the local level if they think it will help their guy gain power and they just face a financial penalty (even though most cannot afford the penalties). This WILL happen again.
