Does the state have a law regarding deception in the voter registration context? What is the intent standard required under that law? (Knowing, reckless, negligent, etc.) Is it a criminal act or a civil penalty?
Separately, does the anonymity (or even existence) of WVWV/VPC robocalls raise any questions under state law as it does in North Carolina?

But as a lawyer, I hate seeing words like "criminal" tossed around before anyone determines what the law actually is.

I'm not a lawywer, true. But, even a lawyer knows that public perception is as powerful as the law.

we need to start looking at each State's system of laws. There are things called 'ethics', too - and if this organization spent extra time to determine just how far they could stretch without getting slapped, fine tuning their actions in each State just to avoid prosecution .. it sounds .. like, [ugh] Republicans to me.
