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
Yeah, he pulled an investigator off a current case to do this one, and WTMJ4's anchor said he wants to charge him sometime early next week... Pretty cool.
You're not too informed are you?
Well then you obviously need to get your news from more varied sources.
That's good news!
Are you going to vote for Paul Bucher or J.B. Van Hollen in the primary? I'm having a difficult time making up my mind.
Please, give us all a good Diebold rant. LOL BTW, still waiting for those cites.
Well, by all means, inform me.
Paging the Wisconsin political guru to this thread.
This guy Ricardo is a total troll, read his posts in other threads.
Come on guys, knock it off.
Know who's in charge of the Viking Kitty group?
Got proof of that?
Links?
Anything but your "feelings"?
Troll.
If you expect me to go off on Deibold over partisan viewpoints then you will be sorely disappointed.
I am against their electronic voting machines because, as a tech guy and former hacker, I can see too many flaws in their designs that would allow the bad guys to mess things up. It would be child's play to affect a local election with those machines the way they are set up right now. A script kiddie with a bit of cajones could mess things up pretty bad.
Do a search on the Washington State Governors election in 2004.....I don't do research for free.
Just because I don't always agree with everyone on this forum doesn't make me a troll.
Without differing opinions, FR would just be one big circle jerk. Is that really what you want?
Diebold makes more than voting equipment. They're heavily used in the banking industry. I'm *still* waiting for those cites. You made a statement. Back it up.
I've read enough of your posts to know what you are, and I can't see how you've avoided getting zapped. Go kiss Osama.
Even after being challenged by more than one person, you still can't cite even ONE source for this.
And the Daily Kos doesn't count.
