Sure. Name the victim.

The trust of the American people.

8 years sounds pretty steep to me. What libertarian principles were violated here?

Are you conflating libertarianism with anarchy?

If I were a betting person, I would bet she didn't vote for Ron Paul. That's how the fraud works.

It's not fraud. Leviathan is not a person, neither is the collective. Neither is the "integrity" of the system. Do "resident aliens" pay taxes? Should taxpayers have representation? What penalties the state wishes to apply for violating election law is up to it. Just don't call it fraud.

It's fraud and I will call it for what it is.

That's not an actual right that's been violated. Besides that would make almost anything a crime.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be punished, but 8 years! That doesn't even sound plausible. I need to check snopes.

Until elected politicians serve time for violating the limitations placed on them by the Constitution then I don't really see how her five votes amounted to anything significant.

Fraud is fraud and maybe, just maybe this will be an example for many who think they can get away with fraud.

This is so subtle we should not be making a big deal out of it.

It does , but it is 1.6 years for each of the five times she illegally voted that they know of . Probably be cheaper to just find her guilty and deport her . I am more interested in how much in benefits she has collected in her time here .

According to the OP her mom was on the tit so she grew up entitled...

Just like lots of natives......

We need a reality show about people on the government tit. It might be quite an eye opener to some.

Yeah , I would like to deport those too

Excellent idea .

It would be easier to provide incentives for them to move to Alaska. A place as good as any to suck on the tit.

There is nothing Libertarian about people taking tax dollars for the same things others work for and buy . There is also nothing Libertarian about a tick voting , illegally , for people who will further this failed process .

Pretty ridiculous; if punishment was truly warranted then some community service should suffice.
