Former Student Gets Year In Prison For College President Election Fraud 274
Gunkerty Jeb writes, quoting Threatpost: "A former Cal State San Marcos student was sentenced to a year in prison this week for election tampering by using keystroke loggers to grab student credentials and then vote for himself. Matthew Weaver, 22, of Huntington Beach, Calif., stole almost 750 students' identities to try and become president of the San Diego County college's student government. His plan went awry when the school's computer technicians noticed an anomaly in activity and caught Weaver with keystroke loggers as he sat in front of the suspicious computer."

He's probably going to prison for accessing the students accounts, not for the election fraud itself.
That's why you don't do this, kids. You start with logging other people's strokes and you end up stroking other people's logs.
