Life is not fair for former county clerk

“If the accusations in Paragraph 4 are true, they show that Ms. (Ann) Dutson-Sater exercised poor judgment and made a serious mistake under Idaho’s elections laws, in particular Idaho Code §34-1705. That mistake, in my view as the state’s chief election officer, is not a felony, particularly when Idaho Code §35-1704(2) provides that all recall petitions that fail to obtain the required number of signatures are “declared null and void ab initio.”
