Ones that make it illegal to lie on the campaign trail. Ones, that make it a major felony to create such public danger. If someone gets hurt and there is a clear trail from the perp back to crap like this, there needs to be legislation that covers punishment for it. And, that punishment needs to have teeth, not just some slap in the little finger with a wet noodle.

It will never happen, but it is what should happen...
