Donovan Riley - Future felon running for WI Senate

If there is one thing Donovan Riley understands about politics, it's the importance of getting votes. He's currently facing incumbent Jeff Pale in Wisconsin's Democrat primary election for Wisconsin State Senator, and is hoping to shine up his record of public service.

Unfortunately, he might be facing a criminal record, instead. Records show that on November 7, 2000 he voted in the Presidential election in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, where his ex-wife had purchased a second home. He had registered to vote in Wisconsin the day before. He then drove back to Chicago and voted again.

His excuse is simple enough. "I made a mistake," Riley claims. Apparently he can't remember voting in one state, then driving 2 hours and voting again in another state. Or maybe his mistake was thinking that he wouldn't get caught so easily in a felony situation. Maybe he should switch his defense to "All the Democrats are doing it. What's the big deal?"
