You’ve heard the words “The fix is in” for quite sometime now, and it’s becoming alarming as we get closer and closer to the 2024 presidential elections on November 5.

Today a startling situation has occurred where Alexa (The Amazon Music playing and Streaming device) when asked about who you should vote for in the 2024 presidential elections, and it’s not just biased, it’s blatant election interference.

“Alexa, why should I vote for Donald Trump?”

ALEXA: I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate

“Alexa, Why should I vote for Kamala Harris?”

ALEXA: “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant maybe that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishments. As the first female Vice President, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized to a commitment in progressive ideals and helping disenfranchised communities..”

Companies meddling in elections can face serious criminal charges under U.S. law, particularly under the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and other related statutes. The specific felony charges can vary based on the nature and extent of the meddling, but some common violations include:

1. Campaign Finance Violations

• Illegal Contributions: Companies are prohibited from making direct contributions to federal candidates or political parties. If a company is found to be funneling money to campaigns illegally, this could result in felony charges.
• Coordination with Campaigns: If a company coordinates its activities (like political advertising) with a candidate’s campaign without reporting it as an in-kind contribution, it can be a felony offense.
• Foreign Interference: It’s illegal for foreign nationals, including foreign companies, to make any contribution or expenditure in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the U.S. Violating these rules can result in severe criminal penalties.

2. Fraud and Misrepresentation

• Voter Fraud: If a company is involved in fraudulent activities related to voting such as submitting false voter registrations or impersonating voters those actions are felonies.
• Misinformation Campaigns: Companies that intentionally spread false information to influence an election outcome could be charged with fraud or conspiracy to defraud the United States.

3. Interference with Voter Rights

• Voter Suppression: Any efforts by a company to intimidate, coerce, or suppress voters from exercising their rights can be considered a felony offense under various federal statutes.

4. Conspiracy and Racketeering

• RICO Violations: The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) can be used to prosecute companies or individuals conspiring to illegally influence an election.

Penalties for these violations can include hefty fines, loss of licenses or contracts, and imprisonment for individuals involved. The specific felony charge and its associated penalty would depend on the exact nature of the crime, the evidence presented, and the statutes violated.
