I beg to differ but the REAL ELECTION DENIERS just used an OLD anti-KKK law to prosecute an American citizen for SHARING a humorous MEME, by CLAIMING yet NOT BEING ABLE TO PROVE he 'DENIED OTHERS THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE'.
1. Its a 1st Amendment right to share humorous cartoons / memes.
2. The ancient law they used to TARGET a partisan threat, an American who did not support Hillary / Democrats, is an anti-KKK law, a law designed to prevent the racist group THEY started from i tomidating and pre enting blacks from voting.
2. The guy they sent to prison was not a KKK member, was NEVER a KKK member, had no connection to the KKK, and has never been endorsed by tbe KKK or a member of the KKK ... LIKE HILLARY HAS BEEN.
3. He never i tended to deny anyone of their vote, and during the trial THE DOJ FAILED TO PROVE ANYONE HAD BEEN DENIED THEIR VOTE VECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PRODUCE 1 PERSON WHOSE VOTE WAS DENIED - THEY FAILED TO PROVE THE LAW HAD BEEN BROKEN.
4. The DOJ argued that he TRIED to commit the crime and that the fact he failed does not mean he did not try.
- If you want to go down THAT road, Hillary Clinton should be tried and conviced under tbe same old anti-KKK law for her proven false 'Russian Collusion' scandal that was intended to DENY PEOPLE'S VOTE for Trump by making them believe to lie and therefore either not vote at all or not vote for Trump. (Oh, that's right - the Gestapo will not go after Democrats, just non-Democrats...2-tiered banana republic justice system).
5. Despite failing to prove anyone's votes were denied the DOJ still claimed his shari g a Meme could have been / was the reason Hillary lost in 2016.
Yeah, lets just ignore the criminally partisan DOJ targeting conservatives, non-Democrats, Democrats' political opponents, parents, and Catholics...and whover might be next.
Unless I'm missing something here -- and I read the DOJ indictment -- he tried to trick people into 'voting' by sending texts or emails. It wasn't a joke ... he went to great lengths to make what he wrote appear authentic.
"Mackey conspired with other influential Twitter users and with members of private online groups to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages that encouraged supporters of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to “vote” via text message or social media which, in reality, was legally invalid. For example, on November 1, 2016, in or around the same time that Mackey was sending tweets suggesting the importance of limiting “black turnout,” the defendant tweeted an image depicting an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for Hillary” sign. The ad stated: “
Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” and “Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtag “#ImWithHer,” a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “Hillary” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators."

The argument that they do bad things to us, so we can do anything we like to them, is a bad one.
In a shooting war, yes. Then, the laws are silent, as the old Roman said. But until we reach that stage, we must be the party of law and order, the party of the Rule of Law. This isn't being goody-goody -- it's part of what we must be and do to win over people who are now neither Left nor Right.
Here's an analogy: the Left, and most liberals, now oppose free speech. When a conservative tries to speak on campuses where they have a lot of people, they turn up at the meeting and violently close it down. The liberals here on US Message Board approve of this, so far as I can tell.
Should we do the same? There are some campuses where we're the majority. If a Young Democrats Club on one of these campuses invited a liberal speaker, should we close down the meeting by violence, like they do? (Again, in a shooting war, yes -- you suppress your enemy's civil liberties. But we're not there yet.)
The convicted man faces a maximum of ten years. He hasn't been sentenced yet. We'll see what he gets.
It's also untrue that the DOJ is used exclusively against conservatives. It's moving in that direction, but it's not there yet.
If it were already there, this would not have happened:
"Expelled former Democratic congressman
Michael “Ozzie” Myers has been sentenced to
30 months in prison for federal election fraud dating back to 2014, the Justice Department said Tuesday, and was immediately taken into custody.
Myers, 79, pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to
deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election as part of scams to stuff ballot boxes for certain Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania elections between 2014 and 2018,
the DOJ said in a news release."
