The problem I have with proposed section 482.01 is not that we shouldn't have some rules. My concern is with just one area, namely that part 20 gives the right to challenge the stated results. In my view, giving the commissioner the option to charge creates a high standard of proof for the individual, particularly if it turns out that what they said was not true. Someone may have reported to them, and they shouldn't have relied on that report, yet they went forward. It's just the problem of having to defend oneself for no good reason.
There's no good reason to stop someone from commenting on the results of an election; it just won't impact the election. Therefore, let's not create an administrative burden for no purpose.
