Imagine the vitriol and outrage and demands for a multi-year sentence if this guy had been, say, a former ACORN member who cast a single vote fraudulently. Instead, at this guys behest, 110K mostly-black voters got a call saying that they didn't need to go out and vote, the Democratic candidate had won, relax and "congratulations".
