It's the state not a private company but the taxpayers, who are penalized.

The Law they violated was that they did it during a quiet period just before the election. The government and judge did the right thing.

They do make mistakes and should be required to notify the person that they will remove them at a reasonable date in the future and provide an easy way to protest the action.

I hope you don't have to pay $100k every time you made a mistake on the job. I know I'd be bankrupt if I did. 😀
