I know Democrats are eager to find a way to throw Trump in jail, but geez.
The only time lying is a crime under American law that I’m aware of is when you lie to the government. Perjury while testifying, making false statements to the FBI, cheating on your tax returns, etc. If lying to the general public were a crime, every politician in the U.S. would be in jail.
Inslee’s proposal would make it a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison for an elected official or candidate to knowingly lie about election results. That bill would be laughed out of court if it passed and he surely knows it, but he’s looking for a way to virtue-signal his understandable contempt for election truthers. And he’s willing to violate the First Amendment to do it.
Still, until the law is struck down, Stacey Abrams should probably steer clear of Seattle. She might end up in the slammer.

Bbbaaaaawwwwaaaahhhhhh...let’s talk about the Gregoire/Rossi election then!!!
Let’s see, a law against politicians ever telling a lie.
Yeah, sure, that’ll go over really well./S
Translation: no one can call us out when we steal elections
The “problem” is that the right operates under a moral code that does not really allow what needs to be done to get done.
The left would have no trouble assassinating those they wanted to get rid of, but many on the right know they answer to a higher power and have the moral foundation to not take life casually.
And I want to make it a Law to criminalize being a ‘Rat.
20 years, hard time, min., with NO parole.
No way. She has too many levels of protection.
Someone ask this numbnuts if there should be a law mandating IQ tests for political candidates.
I’d support it.
Spoken like a true Communist!
He’s a former school principal who grew accustomed to thinking he was important.
He’s Governor because Seattle contains the King County Elections Office which is populated by people that think cheating is a normal thing.
Good throw Hilary’s ass in jail.
Magnificent. To be implemented this law will require a thorough adjudication of all claims, pro and con.
After watching him during the debates for the primaries for President, I wondered geez the democrats voted this idiot for Governor? Then I thought geez, is there a lot of inbreeding going on in the state of Washington?
About damn time!! I’ve had about all I can take of these fraud deniers.
Bingo
Traitors.
Must.
Swing.
Nope....just in seven Western Washington counties. The rest of the state is normal.
I would make it a crime against humanity to be Jay Inslee!!
