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
......Oh for the days when Berger was saying "I don't know how those papers got down my pants"......
That's not illegal in Chicago.
He's only in trouble because he didn't vote more times. /sarcasm?
Right what a moron. He should have said, "I was in Wisconsin and registered and voted there. Someone who knew I was in Wisconson must have voted for me here."
Who could disprove a statement like that? Maybe some poll worker, but who would remember so many elections later? Maybe he has an ex-wife and is trapped?
That's my line. Been complaining about dual registration for years. It is quite easy to do when you have two places of residence and they are not crossmatched at the voting booth.
If any mistake was made....it was when this knob's mother failed to keep her knees in contact.........
"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"
Huh?
And this guy is the former CEO of the University of Illinois Medical Center and a former law professor at Loyola University?
LOL
LOL
Unless these people get some serious jail time, they are going to continue to make a mockery of our voting system.
Good! I hadn't heard that.
There are newspaper articles about that very subject. I believe they were printed after the 2000 presidential election debacle. No big lib paper such as the NY Times picked up on these investigations, of course.
Mr. Riley, see if you can fill in the blank:
Riley used a different word to throw us off the trail,
But mistake is to eraser as felony is to ________.
As retarded as this is, you can easily find as many republicans as democrats cheating in elections. It's not like one side is soley responsible for the corruption of elections.
The whole system is a mess.
How do you forget wether you have voted or not or if you voted twice? You might not recall where you left your keys or what your golf score was last June ( I try to forget)but voting...
