@futurebird could there be any remedy in a Texas-style law suit which allows private citizens to file civil suits against people in other states whom they suspect of corrupting a political process or civil office?

@cstross thanks, now I'm listening to DDT's "Revolution" (ДДТ - Революция). "Revolution, you taught us to believe in virtue's injustice. How many worlds an hour will we burn in the name of your bright fire?"
