The April 9 sentencing triggers a five-year period during which Smith agreed not to seek elective office.
Prosecutors had recommended a $40,000 fine. Smith is scheduled to report for his sentence on May 21.
"We can never know whether this crime has altered the outcome of an election," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “Nevertheless, the public's confidence in the electoral process has been adversely affected by the defendant's actions.”
