His political career should be toast - but in this era - laws only apply to the non-connected/wealthy/overclass.
Book mark this. When 2020 approaches and "election fraud" becomes the GOP go-to excuse before the election, to de-legitimate results in advance (as Trump did in 2016), and use bring this story back. Compare a documented case (who is still in Congress), to the insinuations that are tied to now documented cases.
