    Is tricking the ignorant and gullible into not exercising their votes protected speech?

    I don't think the First Amendment is your best argument here.

    Well that does describe democrat voters but its not against the law anymore than it is for Biden to claim he had a covid plan

    Where is this happening? Not here.

    Calling that a coup and making DC a military stats now is the best example of gaslighting in recent memory. I also like how the FBI spread all over the disinformation on massive right-wing armed protests at all 50 state capitols on Inauguration Day.

    A complete false narrative that Leftists gobbled up as fact.
    The actually closed the local county courts here in California on Jan. 20th with the excuse being that there were threats being made to the workers. When the reality was that it was just an excuse to give state workers another paid holiday.

    18 U.S. Code § 241 is the law.

    I agree with you that it would be smarter to argue that the statute wasn't intended to criminalize this conduct.

    The First Amendment argument strikes me as a loser.

    What’s the joke?

    It literally just says 'Hillary' and doesn't give a last name. It also doesn't say anything about what they're voting for, just 'president'. President of what? Not to mention it says to TEXT your vote which should make it obvious even to most children that it's not a real vote for US President. I feel no remorse for anyone who texted their vote to this number instead of filling out an actual ballot, and it seems obvious that this case will be thrown out.

    Imagine how disappointed those of us looking forward to your analysis of the statute are.

    Fender's remorse is the new test of statutory construction.

    At the very least he won't be convicted. The DOJ is basing his case on the grounds that people were 'blocked' from actually voting. This meme did nothing to block anyone from voting. And as others have pointed out, similar joke/trick memes have been made and shared by people from both sides, so this would open up a massive can of worms.

    Do you guys think it should be legal to disseminate misinformation designed to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote?

    Please eliminate this douche Stalin

    The statute requires a conspiracy. That differentiates it from a lot of the jokes and tricks. But I agree that the actual language of the statute is where the defense can make some hay. There is plenty of evidence of a conspiracy, but a conspiracy to do what exactly?

    The why is as important as the outcome. Don't quit your day job.

    Agree, that argument made by you was on account of the fact you had nothing.
