Michigan official gets house arrest for 2020 ballot sabotage
A local official in Michigan accused of breaking a seal on a ballot box in her own election to ensure that votes couldn't be recounted was sentenced Monday to six months of house arrest. Kathy Funk, a Democrat, must wear an electronic monitor and also wri...
Six months is nothing.
House arrest is a slap on the wrist. It should be 5 years in prison without parole.
In their own home.
And shouldn't this sentencing automatically disqualify her from office - without regard to which party she represented?
Dummy, that's only if you are a Republican.
For dems, the end justifies the means.
How about 6 years in prison for election tampering? 6 months house arrest won't deter anyone.
So you can hijack your country and be cleaned with 6 months of house arrest? Good luck america
where the hell is Ruby and her "boss" daughter???
Anyone who commits criminal actions in elections or any government office must be banned for life to ever hold another government position. Also we need laws to make it easier to remove anyone from office if: 1) unable to fulfill their job fo a period of 30 consecutive days, 2) criminal behavior to acquire their position, 3) criminal activity proven while holding a government position, 4) negligent behavior while in office, such as not showing up for debates, voting, etc.
I'm good with rope, tree and gravity. 24 hours as a wind chime followed by 24 hours as a bird feeder.
I see absolutely no difference between vote tampering, foreign invasion or armed insurrection; they all create exactly the same thing; a forced government change upon the population that nobody wanted. So, why should the penalty be less for the same crime?
She denied committing the crime, just like a true demo. Never confess
Much of Genesee County and certainly Flint has been run by democrats for years.. It's a shit hole here, and getting worse, but yet, "Hey, it's those damn Republican's fault."
Great. She'll be done with plenty of time to "help" in 2024.
many comments on yahoo as follows.
I'm a Democrat, but this deserves jail time, so send her to another jurisdiction where they have room
I am firmly a democrat. This person should be banned from any kind of elected office or government job for life.
I'm a Democrat. If she was recalled and banned from running again, I'd have no problem with that. Any Republicans out there willing to say the same about their party when they commit election crimes?
Also a proud Democrat here, and I totally agree. Election interference is too serious to just give this gal a slap on the wrist. Should have been a year in prison for her to think about it.
Wooooooowwww. ::slow clap::
Probably still gave her the election too?
That'll show em!
Too little…this should be considered treason, but, acts of treason already committed have seen no Justice.
House arrest? This is why there are so many who are willing to cheat and fix elections.
