Context: Voter fraud is rare, is relatively easy to catch, and from a cost/benefit standpoint, is one of the dumbest crimes you can commit.

DOJ's Antifa Push Spurs Trump Appointee To Charge A Band's Bassist Over A Bag Of Weed
U.S. Attorney Michael Dunavant, a top federal prosecutor in Tennessee, is "throwing the book" at a Black Lives Matter supporter in an anarcho-punk band.
