Incorrect. While certification may result in more serious crimes with greater penalties, there have already been federal election crimes committed:
An election crime is generally a federal crime if:
-The ballot includes one or more federal candidates
-An election or polling place official abuses their office
-The conduct involves false voter registration
-The crime intentionally targets minority protected classes
-The activity violates federal campaign finance laws

The first three crimes in that list have occurred, and possibly minority targeting as well.
