I know I'll get downvoted to hell for this, but apparently this story involves more than just memes. The criminal complaint alleges that the memes "mimicked" an official campaign message (which is a law), at least that's the angle they're taking. Is it bullshit? Probably. They have been known to invoke obscure laws in hopes that the charges stick.
According to them, its wrongthink, so everything is "illegal". We could just outmaneuver them by posting "not affiliated with..." in tiny print" until they try another bullshit lawfare workaround to selectively prosecute those who speak out against them.
election laws only apply to people who have a campaign. it's not illegal for you to donate a billion dollars to the DNC, it's illegal for them to accept it and not issue a refund when they realize you donated above the legal limit.
its also illegal for election officials to ignore egregious violations of election law to allow their preferred candidate to win. Memes are not a crime. Making fun of someone's stupidity, immorality, criminality isn't a crime. it's not slander, it's 10000% truth.
Depends how/if the responders to the 'ad' were misled so their vote didn't actually 'count'. Speaking of votes that didn't actually 'count'......how about 74.5m American voters who currently feel that the election was a fraud? I have an odd feeling that their arresting him NOW has to do more with H.R. Bill #1 than protecting election integrity.
That's still memes. Mimicking an actual campaign slogan is against the law?
Stop the malarkey
I seriously doubt this is their concern. At most they have fraud, pretending that it's official and using the likeness of a signature to add credibility. Examining the relevant signatures might turn up something interesting?

So anybody that spread the “Draft Our Daughters” memes mimicked an official campaign message...
