But I'm sure you'll shame me into looking that up, too.
Your statute doesn't apply to what's described here. But for your edification, a Class C felony in Oregon is punishable by up to five years' imprisonment.
Still, paid partisans committing felonies should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Then we make them talk to Alan Keyes for a week, just to make sure they're really sorry.

That was the only reference to voter registration I could find in the Oregon statutes. Maybe I'm not lookin in the right place...
Apparently, a community organization here in Colorado submitted 100 fraudulant voter registrations.
I guess the organization pays people to register voters, and some of the people faked the cards to get some money. However, these 100 were part of 32,000 people they registered. That's a pretty small percentage.
Regardless, I know a bunch of people that work for this organization, and I worry for them. I know they weren't doing voter reg stuff, but DAMN does it look bad. Apparently there are 700 fraudulant forms, and each registering organization was supposed to put their names on the cards they helped fill, but Colorado Acorn is the only one who did.
I see this crime as much less impactful as destroying voter registrations, however. But, that is what happens when citizens aren't automatically registered. Or at least, that is something that DID happen.

We have to opt in to vote, but we have to opt out to avoid spam/telemarketers/junk mail? Go figure.
Yeah, us! The most advanced civilization in the history of the world! How fubar is the registration process when we allow that to happen? Who is responsible for that part of the equation? I bet it bipartisan. I come close to agreeing with Kirk on this. While I don't think everyone should rot in jail awaiting a trial, I think heads ought to roll and they ought to roll efficiently and the investigation into it ought to be huge and prosecutions should happen to the full extent of the law for the organzers of the abuse and the only people who should escape prosecution to the full extent of the law are people who turn on the superiors, like starving rats or drug dealers and even then the lowers in the know should be get very real and very stiff charges.
I come pretty close to believing that any politician who would stand against a thorough investigation should hang from a noose in a tree in front of Capitol Hill.
Our political process has disenfranchised the populace enough already. Allowing these abuses to continue is shameful to say the least. I am not even sure how describe me feelings about it. And don't think for a second it's republican only club.

You go girl!
But seriously, isn't our electoral registration process due for one Starr-Jones-sized- enema? Two hundred years of looking for any little shittass excuse to disbar non-whites and other "undesirables from voting -- Ex-Lax here we come!
