What law was broken? And if there isn’t one (there isn’t), how would you craft such a law?

The only thing that I can think of is some type of vote of no-confidence by the people who were tricked. Maybe a way to petition through the state to call for a new vote. Something besides some letters and phone calls that will be ignored, and wait another election cycle.
