Tom DeLay's REALLY fucked now!
I present to you the requirements to hold a Texas commercial pesticide applicator's license:

Applicants for a commercial applicator license must:

Pass the (Texas Department of Agriculture) general examination, laws and regulations examination and at least one category/subcategory examination other than aerial application or demonstration & research pest control;

Provide the required certification of financial responsibility;

Submit an application with a nonrefundable fee of $180; 

Not have been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude in the last five years; and

Submit or have employer submit an Applicator Business Registration.


If we can somehow finagle "conspiracy to manipulate Texas elections law" into a crime of moral turpitude, then not only won't he be able to be a congressman, he won't even be able to spray his kinfolk for the next five years.

4. High power lobbyists aren't bound by any of those rules
After he writes his book he'll find a cushy office on K street and start fucking the country from the other end.

6. Moral turpitude and election fraud.
Pretty much any substantial fraud (intent to deceive) constitutes an act of moral turpitude. I did a Westlaw search for California cases and couldn't find any directly on the point of "election fraud" but the definition of fraud is pretty broad generally.
