Yeah I'm sure these ghouls won't weasel their way out of this or carry out their penance in bad faith in any way

Yeah, they're just going to run a registration drive at CPAC or a Proud boys rally

Edit - They've been ordered to register in low-income neighborhoods of Washington, D.C, but I'm sure Wohl will be up to his usual bullshit.

What did the residents of DC do to deserve being treated like shit by these goons?

You know. These goons might finally be in contact with the people they hate. Only way to stop hating people is getting to know them. Might actually do some good

That was the takeaway from the Robbers cave experiment. That exposure to others can destroy outgroup bias. When the two groups of boys were assigned cooperative games, they stopped hating each other and saw they were just there to have fun at a summer camp too.

Having lived in the DC area, I would strongly caution those douchebags against pissing off low income residents of that area.

They might find that the world is less kind to spoilt cis-gendered white dudes who do nothing but brew bullshit in some places than others.

While I agree the sentence is woefully inadequate, this is just the state of Ohio's sentencing. Michigan has criminal charges against them and the FCC is suing them for $5.1M

I love this. Ohio goes, "well the FCC is already working on hitting their wallet hard and Michigan is trying to lock them up. Doing the same thing again will have limited impact, let's try something else."

I wonder how it works out if their sentence in one prevents them from fulfilling the sentence in another. If, say, they're in a cell in Michigan and so unable to spend any hours at all registering voters in Ohio.

It's not inadequate, it's inappropriate. These guys are known fraudsters why should they be handling voter information? Let them spend their 500 hours of community service picking up trash by the highway or cleaning bathrooms at public parks and rest stops.

Oh I don’t know. I’m sure they’ll be watched very closely, and if they violate their community service terms… BAM. Straight to prison I bet.
