Prosecuting fraud in Louisiana

In 2004, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Louisiana told a reporter, "...most of the time, we can't do much of anything [about ballot box improprieties] until the election is over. And the closer we get to the election, the less willing we are to get involved because of just the appearance of impropriety.[1]
