Rogue's gallery of GOP vote-suppressors- where to go from here?

I'm all for being gracious in victory even after a hard-fought campaign, but that graciousness does not extend to Republicans who try to muck with the voting process, violating the very core of our democracy. The GOP antics in Florida and Ohio especially made me really mad, and we should never forgive and forget. Instead, those thugs deserve criminal probes, public humiliation, special targeting for being ousted in the next elections and generally making their lives miserable, to become examples to discourage such shenanigans in the future. I'm listing just the bigger and better-known names, but the lower-level sycophants and minions should be a target too if they willingly and knowingly carried water for the GOP criminals- not to mention a great source of testimony once they turn on the Republican scum in charge.

As others have been stressing we should be imposing federal uniformity on the state-by-state voting anyway and combating gerrymandering at every opportunity, but some public thrashings of vote suppressors would be a nice start. This really is a matter of national urgency, since these Republican asshats have not only violated our most cherished democratic principles, they've humiliated us in the eyes of the world. How can media and officials in the USA lecture Iran or China or Syria on human rights and democracy when one of our two major parties is transparently violating those very principles in our own elections?

I'm not up on the details and most of the specific cases other than what my fellow volunteers in those states have passed on to me, so wanted to start off with the few names I do know and invite all of you to contribute. Whether for criminal probes or civil suits, targeting for electoral defeat or just withering criticism in regional and national media, let's gather the names of the crooks here under one roof. I'm using the "gallery" term somewhat metaphorically here as I don't have any pictures of these jerks up front (and I hesitate to link to their filthy, crooked mugs), but however we can identify and track down these criminals, it's worth every effort. They should have nowhere to hide.
