Here's a clue for you, James O'Keefe thought it was "child's play" to steal a dead person's identity, register to vote and vote with that identity. He captured it all on camera, too.

He faces arrest if he enters New Hampshire.

Just because something can be done does not mean it is "child's play" when that something is illegal.

It may be "child's play" to hack into a company's customer database and steal credit card numbers. People go to prison for it, so it is anything but "child's play".
