Do you know Iran?! An 18-year-old boy from Iran is ready to expand your knowledge about Iran.

How does the penalty if caught factor in?

@trollslayer I'm mentioning ballot harvesting from the institutional side, less so from the individual perspective. It behooves the party in power to engage in ballot harvesting to ensure the preferred candidates are victorious. Since it is legal, the risks are obviously very low. So the chance of cheating is high.
Yes, a good example of this anecdotally is the New England Patriots under Bill Belechick or Lance Armstrong.
Both were highly successful in their chosen field and didn't necessarily need to cheat to win...but they did anyway....

@SumKindaMunster the alaska case may be another good example.
Probably not illegal, but definitely underhanded. The risk is bad PR (or good depending on how you view it), but the chance of it making a difference seems quite low.

@trollslayer Yeah good example. Not illegal, but sneaky and underhanded.
Of course, what does this also say about voters who can't distinguish a Democrat from a Republican regardless of the name on the ballot?
