Oh gotcha. If they could show a harm, like financial loss, then it could be. I think a close analogy would be if I send a letter, but sign your name. If a reasonable person would think you wrote the letter, then this might qualify as defamation. IANAL | ||

IANAL, but I think directly writing a Hatch act violation on behalf of a person would fall under defamation per se, not defamation per quod, and thus harm would not have to be demonstrated. https://www.findlaw.com/injury/torts-and-personal-injuries/w... | ||
