9. This is literally meaningless

That sent a "sternly worded letter" and it means nothing because it's just a letter.

That's the difference between people and organizations: a person vote when they technically should not but they go to jail...especially if they are Black.
PACs like this can do far, far worse and they get a "sternly worded letter" which is, very literally, absolutely no consequence at all.

Corporations, PACs and Billionaires are completely immune to consequences because our country values them more than they value themselves.
