It remains to be seen if the story is BS. So far there are eye witnesses who have said this happened in public. If they are willing to say so under oath, there's a case.
If a bunch of people, all Democrats who live a reasonable distance from the places these incidents are alleged to have occurred, show up to vote and find they aren't registered, there could be convictions, but only if enough of them complain officially. But we won't know until after the election.
As Tom says, the responsibility to mail the form is clearly with the voter. This alleged scam is aimed at people who are too cheap to buy a 37-cent stamp.
I'm not sure what the charge would be, though. It would clearly be some kind of fraud, and probably conspiracy, but I wonder if some interpretation of the reacketeering laws would be invoked.
