If there's one thing Donovan Riley apparently learned during his time in Chicago, it was "Vote early and often."
Riley, 69, the former CEO of the University of Illinois Medical Center and a former law professor at Loyola University, is running for a state senate seat in Milwaukee.
On Nov. 7, 2000, the day of the big election between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Riley appeared at the polling place in Oconomowac, Wis., where he had registered to vote just the day before, voting records show. His ex-wife owned a home there.
"Then he drove down to Chicago where he was already registered and he voted again," said Michael Crooks, a Wisconsin attorney who filed a complaint against Riley with Wisconsin election officials. "This is about as blatant as it gets."
Waukesha County District Attorney Paul Bucher said it's usually difficult to prove such allegations. "But in this case, these documents seem to be pretty good," he said.
'I made a mistake'
Chicago Board of Elections officials are said to be compiling documents to forward to the Cook County state's attorney for possible prosecution.
"My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois and it's possible I made a mistake," Riley said in a statement released last week.
Riley faces incumbent Jeff Pale in next month's Democratic primary election for a state senate seat in Milwaukee, 35 miles from Oconomowac.
Riley also was a partner at the Chicago law firm of Michael Best & Friedrich
ROTFLMAO!
He "made a mistake"? How about he willfully broke the law?
"My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois and it's possible I made a mistake," Riley said in a statement released last week.
This guy has a future in the Democrat party when a liberal judge throws out the charges, he sounds just like Bill Clinton.
Democrat party was, is, and always will be the party of horse thieves, fakes, phonies, and frauds.
Disbar this guy. He's too messed up to practice law. He's either a lying criminal or he is senile.
Why, the poor fellow was just following orders from Her Thighness, to "vote early and vote often." What's the big deal? /sarc
Yeah, voting TWICE - happens all the time!
LOL!
His mistake was thinking that he couldn't get caught. Gotta wonder how many times he's violated election law before 2000 -- and since.
Lying sack of dung. He knew exactly what he was doing. Democrats and corruption hand in hand.
Sure ya did. Mistakenly voting twice in the same day in two different states....yeah, that happens by accident all the time.
has there been any comments to this corruption from pelosi/dean or the rest of the dam dems????

He didn't ADMIT to making a mistake. He says "it's possible"...
All depends on what the meaning of "IS" is.
Looks like Paul Bucher's gonna charge him...
