Did nobody here read the article?
Not ballots, or fake ballots, or even sample ballots. Applications for absentee ballots. They only got a letter of reprimand because seriously, who gives a shit that that they were sending out applications (again: not ballots!)
I mean you're forgetting that like ACORN was laser targetted because of a salaciously editted video by republican media. This law was likely intended to combat higher voting overall and hurt organizations dedicated to helping improve turnout.
Hence the slap on the wrist for the organization run by a republican donor to enroll likely republican voters. Lax enforcement of law for the rich guys at the top, harsher brutal enforcement for the teeming masses they detest. Its a classic rules don't apply to team fash situation.
The evidence does show a violation of state law, however — I do think more than a reprimand is in order. It certainly would be the case for anyone without money like Musk.
