MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Ten Republicans who posed as fake electors for former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin and filed paperwork falsely saying he had won the battleground state have settled a civil lawsuit and admitted their actions were part of an effort to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory, attorneys who filed the case announced Wednesday.
Under the agreement, the fake electors acknowledged that Biden won the state, withdrew their filings and agreed not to serve as presidential electors in 2024 or any other election where Trump is on the ballot.
The 10 fake electors agreed to send a statement to the government offices that received the Electoral College votes saying that their actions were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.”

Under the settlement, the 10 fake electors promised to assist the Department of Justice with its ongoing investigation. They also agreed to help the Democrats as they continue their lawsuit against Troupis and Chesebro.
Is there any legal reason why we can’t hang a traitor?

That doesn’t seem strict enough
I wholly agree. I’m not fond of the death sentence for reasons and I dislike retributional incarceration as opposed to rehabilitative. He probably meets standards for criminally insane, but I’m not looking for an insanity plea.
Well typically a "traitor" has to be convicted of treason. So when that happens, then sure. Otherwise we may as well hang you just-in-case.
Fingers crossed
