Via Kyle Griffin:

Senate Democrats have introduced a bill that would allow for fines to be issued against individuals who intentionally spread lies about election dates or registration laws to prevent people from voting.

@GottaLaff Writing from Australia. Surprised there isn’t already a law in existence to cover this.

@GottaLaff fines are a start. I hope we see some jail time for those #$%^&*

Excellent idea! I can’t believe this doesn’t already exist. said all the ways to interfere with elections, this one is especially evil. Okay, they all are, but this one pisses me off a lot.

@GottaLaff insufficient. That's felony conspiracy-to-deprive shit.

@GottaLaff

Seriously, I don't think fines are enough of a deterrent. I'd like to see jail time for that.

@Wileymiller You got THAT right. Earthquakes while bra shopping, fighting off C-Diff (did I tell you?), meeting with our real estate agent to finalize details, lining up a window washer, packing the house, trying to stay sane both politically and emotionally bc of the C Diff... yeah, things are swell. @PamelaBarroway

Filing this in the "how is this not already illegal" bucket.

Republicans will vote against this, incredibly telling.
