That sounds cute and all... but the other charges are more serious.

stealing election records, forging ballots, hindering the rights of citizens to vote freely, voting more than once in an election and violating absentee voting procedures.

Nothing new ---- hell, Lyndon Johnson probably did all that, and more, when he was running for the senate here in Texas. In one county, 87 dead people were registered to vote --- and DID ! !
