It appears election supression or registration fraud is a very serious Federal Offense & people should be going to jail.

This is from Dec 2012 page 46 "Grant takes on the KKK" American History Mag......

April 1871 Congress approved what was formally named '~ Act to Enforce the Provisions of the FoUrteenth Amendment" but in- formally dubbed the Ku Klux Klan Act. The measure allowed persons deprived of their rights under the Constitution to bring suit in federal courts (rather than state courts). It defined conspiracy to deprive citizens of the equal protection of the laws or prevent citizens from voting, and it permitted the prosecution of such conspiracies in federal courts. It also declared that when the denial of rights was so organized and egregious that it overawed state authorities, or when state authorities connived in the denial, such combinations "shall be deemed a rebellion against the government of the United States." The president was then authorized "to sus- pend the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus, to the end that such rebellion may be overthrown."
THE UW GAVE GRANT the power he sought, but it was up to him to use it. "It is my earnest wish that peace and cheerful obedience to law may prevail throughout the land and that all traces of our late unhappy civil strife may be speedily removed," the president proclaimed after its passage. Yet neither Grant's words nor the legislation did anything to sway Southern racists.

I am not a lawyer and am not sure if this law works in all 50 states or just ex-confederate ones, but it seems intended to deal with KKK type elected officials at state & local levels. This is the 3rd time I posted it, anyone with any legal expertise please explain if this law is relevent. I spent all day on the phone friday trying to get feds informed & into action.
