Original Note:

The case was decided on criminal conspiracy and injury as in the US there is a body of lawa around voter rights. 5K voters fell for his scheme. https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/social-media-influencer-douglass-mackey-sentenced-after-conviction-election https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/31/nyregion/douglass-mackey-trial-twitter-misinformation.html
