If anything, the mistakes made were in Nageak's favor, he being a Republican in Oogruk's clothing. 

There is no reason to think that Oviok intentionally committed a crime, because his case was on appeal and he had not been notified that he had been disenfranchised. It's shameful that a prosecution is being brought, perhaps only to support Nageak's flimsy protest.  

The disenfranchisement law is a Jim Crow statute intended to intentionally keep minorities from voting, supposedly because they are susceptible to being briibed (and white voters are not).  50,000 voters suspected as possibly being ex-felons were disenfranchised in Florida by Jeb Bush and his g/f Kathy Harris, which had more to do with Bush being "elected" than "Butterfly ballots," or Ralph Nader. 

In Maine and Vermont, inmates in prison are allowed to vote, with no problem ever being found.

This suit is bunk, and I hope the trier of fact so finds.
