using this statue to prosecute would not only violate the spirit and intent of the law but also be very unlikely, given precedent, to result in any conviction. Hence a competent prosecutor would likely not seek to prosecute based on this law, nor should they, as it would be a waste of taxpayer money not to mention the ill effect it would have on our electoral process (sudden unnecessary prosecution against particular candidates unlikely to lead anywhere).
