Summary: Some Republicans who crossed party lines to vote for Hillary may be felons. If they're not "sincere" about supporting the Democrat party. They passed a law to punish insincerity. I think this is just yet another example to show how FUCKED up the whole notion of voting for leaders is. They fabricated this bizarre game that's just ripe for corruption and now they act surprised when people do stuph like this.

"But I really, really did believe in what the Democrats stood for!  For an entire ten minutes!  I have since changed my mind."

I'm not sure how you would go about criminalizing changing one's mind.

The same way the gov't criminalizes plants.

I swear I have never voted for Hillary .... wait ... probably in some negative poll.

Oh man, if we could only make voting for anyone illegal...
