From what I gathered in the article, she wasn’t allowed access. She stole someone else’s access card to get in. So, worthy of prison time absolutely.

  Yeah I’m very much against that but not nearly as against the idea of transparency in voting.
  
  The obvious drawback being it could affect the anonymity of voting, which is an essential cornerstone to healthy democracies.

      Do you think I’m inclined to answer your question when you ask it like that?
