Probably most who voted for the scammer have a record to boot.
I see John Conyers took his district with some 86% of the votes.

I know it is a slow start for a Detroit politician, give him time.
On a related note, Jesse Jackson, Jr. was reelected in spite of having received treatment for a severe mental disorder for most of the last year, as well as fighting what seems to be a slam dunk fraud investigation against him.
To rip off Jay Leno, elected office is just a work release program for people who haven’t been caught yet. Thanks cripplecreek.
It’s a sleeze nation...What more can anyone say..
I can hardly wait to get the hell out of this state. When my wife retires in 4 years we are going to leave Michigan and head South.
Shocking! Just shocking/s I am so proud/s
LOL, 'creek! Very funny. Brian Banks resume enhancers. Bringin' down the house. President Banks - could be commander and chief /sarc AND head of the FED all at once. We could save money that way. He might not even want as much as the current crooks are taking.
When I saw the name and read the location a thought immediately flashed through my mind and when I saw his face confirmed what I was thinking.
That’s Detroilet for you.
