New Lucky Charlotte-they have a DA that wants to enforce the law
Here in Milwaukee, the Democrat DA thinks there's nothing wrong with any of this. In this smokes for votes story, the TV station caught it on tape and the DA didn't do anything. I think he uses the OJ method of investigation-eyes screwed shut.

New But it's not the local DA, it's the U.S. Attorney's Office..
(i.e. that's the Feds). Besides Charlotte is in Mecklenberg County.

New Dadgummit! Reading for comprehension...
But the argument is essentially the same. The lucky stiffs in Charlotte have authorities interested in enforcing the election laws. We poor schmucks in SE Wisconsin don't.

Don't you have the option of a private prosecution?

New I don't understand what you mean
I don't know if any federal laws were broken, so I don't know if the feds were just ignoring it.

I know the local DA 'looked at' all the shenanigans at the time and decided to do nothing. Since he looked at it, I can only assume that local laws were involved.

But, IANAL, so I'm pretty ignorant about all the nitty gritty.
