Other countries make it a requirement, and ensure enough time, and time off from work, to actually execute that requirement. Reps here have always worked against people voting. Now, they're even making it harder for their own people to vote.

I also agree that where it's proven there's been election rigging, etc., that a distasteful punishment would follow. I, too, would not consider the death penalty too harsh for people like the high ranking repubs and tech bros who rig the system in their favor. I don't honestly see that any less a treason than what treason has been defined elsewhere. They're working to bring down the country... isn't that treason?
