Since when do they care about the Constitution?

The Constitution defines treason. It doesn't mandate the punishment for it.

Lots of illegal things aren’t treason. And if there was meaningful proof of this, Angle’s campaign would be pursuing it in court already.

Any election fraud should be Treason.

No, it defines treason, but leaves it up to Congress to set penalties for it.

It would be difficult to make a case that the 'Rat SOS's action fits the definition of treason, but it certainly is criminal, since it violates the Nevada statute cited in the posted article.
