I think this was the most blatant bit of voter fraud in the last election.

All sides do it, and always have. I think it should be discouraged, but I don't think these people needed to be punished. It's at least plausible that they didn't think of what they were doing is fraud, and unlikely they're going to get the opportunity again. Punishing them is just petty cruelty.

I think punishing them is necessary. I don't think it needs to be jail time, but perhaps a fine. They committed a crime and should be punished.
