Public Corruption

In a democratic society such as the United States, the voting process is a means for citizens to bear the responsibility of their government; the conflict is converted peacefully into resolutions and power transfers. Our representative government system works only if a sincere vote has not been diluted with fraudulent votes. Through the Public Corruption Prevention Department, the FBI plays an important, but limited role in securing fair and free elections. Election crime is a federal trial under the following circumstances.

Federal election crime falls into three major categories - campaign for financial crime, voter / voucher fraud and violation of citizenship

One person will pay more than $ 4,600 to federal candidates (various restrictions apply to donations from committees and organizations).
