No mention whatsoever of political parties in the article; therefore, the perp is a Democrat and the politician whose sign he stole is undoubtedly a Republican.

Further evidence thereof is that the thief's "sentence" is to work for the ACLU to ensure that his fellow felons have the opportunity to cast more ballots for Democrats.

Its a primary contest, so they are either both dems, or both republicans.

I'm guessing dems.

Under the terms of an agreement with the DeKalb solicitor’s office, Buckley will do 100 hours of community service. He will work for an American Civil Liberties Union project that helps convicted felons regain their voting rights after they have completed their sentence....

Well that certainly seems worth it. sheesh

It was a primary election, as the article states.

Don Broussard and Jeff Rader are both Democrats.

This was blue-on-blue violence.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Actually, I checked . . . it was a Democrat primary.

How the hell does a political project to help criminals regain their voting rights qualify as community service?

Since the candidates were opponents in a primary, it is rather unlikely that one was a D and the other was R.

“He will work for an American Civil Liberties Union project that helps convicted felons regain their voting rights after they have completed their sentences.”

Working with the ACLU would give me shivers.

[navyguy]

This is normal, routine, expected behavior by emotionally stunted, juvenile Democrats.

Next week this guy will toilet paper his house.

[Texas_Jarhead]

He was sentenced to political activism on behalf of those that share his political bent? That’s ridiculous.

[Brilliant]

“He will work for an American Civil Liberties Union project...”

and he’ll be the only one working on the project who does not have a felony record.

[stinkerpot65]

In all fairness, I worked in county politics for a while. Both sides do this kind of stuff. Rove is notorious for it.
It is a dirty game.

IF I was ever stupid enough to do this crime, I’d rather pick up roadside garbage for the 100 hours.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

He would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.
