I do not see the problem. Maybe it is not much of a deterrent but it is part of the punishment for committing the crime in the first place. You do not like the end results do not commit a felony that simple. I do not care which party the person will or will not vote after, going to jail does not fix the fact fully that you broke the law. It is sort of like a rope you can cut a rope in half and tie it together again but it will never be as strong. Similarly you broke the trust and you violated the law, and this is part of the punishment, and do not ever fully get 100% back.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
