"Minnesota election judge faces felony charges over accepting unregistered votes," reads a headline in a Fox News tweet.

Elections are serious business and should be treated as such. Meddling with electoral outcomes has enormous consequences. It disenfranchises candidates who are on the ballot. It abridges the rights of the voters who are voting. It harms citizens who will be represented by those who become elected. Malfeasance involving meddling in election outcomes should not be tolerated.
