Man accused of voting twice in Bush-Gore election (Guess which party?)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 8/16/06 | Abdon M. Pallasch

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

Excerpt:

The New York Times has uncovered Katherine Harris' wipe out of thousands of voters ... only three years after killing the story exposed by the BBC TV and the Guardian. Here, 'News Dissector' Schechter, formerly of ABC's 20/20, asks how the Times could editorialize on a story they never ran in the first place. And note the Times still can't bring itself to say that the color of illegally purged voters is ... Black.

He made the prototypical Democrat mistake - he got caught. But he's sorry - that he got caught.

Maybe he thought his votes would only count as a half in each state.

"Gotta wonder how many times he's violated election law before 2000 -- and since."

My guess would be every time that he has voted.

He's probably a shoplifter too; I'd bet my house on it.

Given his level of confusion about the events, Riley probably voted for Bush in Wisconsin and then voted for Gore in Illinois.

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.

Cite?

Well they did catch an abortionist doing it; maybe he has a brother that runs an abortuary...

At this point in time, anybody that is still a Dummacrap is either a criminal or just plain stupid.

"Democrat party was, is, and always will be the party of horse thieves, fakes, phonies, and frauds" To which you could also add convicted perjurers and felony voting-rights activists.

I want to add poltroons.
