Raleigh Elections Violations Lawyers

Legally referred to as electoral fraud, elections violations can be committed by both prospective politicians, as well as the voters themselves. Electoral fraud is a federal offense that is classified as a felony charge. Examples of instances electoral fraud include:

• buying votes
• destroying legitimately completed ballots
• manipulating the electorate, meaning that he somehow disrupts the voting process or the process of tallying the votes
• misinforming voters, such as through mudslinging or smear campaigns
• failing to record a legitimate vote
• illegally rendering certain individuals unable to vote (disenfranchisement)
• over-complicating ballot papers to make them tricky or difficult to understand
• stuffing the ballot box by voting more than once
• somehow intimidating a person or group of people to prevent them from voting, which has, in the past, been a problem at polling stations

The Department of Justice reports that there are currently no widespread efforts or conspiracies to commit voter fraud, in the U.S. On a smaller scale, individuals who may commit voter fraud (aside from the politicians) are individuals who are ineligible to vote, such as ex-convicts and immigrants.
