Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon gets house arrest after illegal vote CharlotteObserver.com

It was whitey that made him do it. It was whitey! It was all whitey's fault! He "didn't know he couldn't vote". I hope his dick isn't as short as his memory. It's incredible the amnesia democrats always suffer when they're facing a prison sentence. And this guy was the mayor of Charlotte! The judge & jury needs to nail his carcass to the wall. If they don't, they're sending a terrible message, a democrat message, to the public at large: "Hey, it's OK for for convicted felon politicians to perpetrate another felony, voter fraud. Nothing wrong with that...just, ummm, don't get caught, huh?"
 
This list consists of American politicians convicted of crimes either committed or prosecuted while holding office in the federal government. It includes politicians who were convicted or pleaded guilty in a court of law; and does not include politicians involved in unprosecuted scandals (which may or may not have been illegal in nature), or politicians who have only been arrested or indicted. The list also does not include crimes which occur outside the politician’s tenure unless they specifically stem from acts while they were in office.
Although the convicted politicians are arranged by presidential terms starting with the most recent, many of the crimes have little or no connection to who is President.

This list consists of American politicians convicted of crimes either committed or prosecuted while holding office in the federal government. It includes politicians who were convicted or pleaded guilty in a court of law; and does not include politicians involved in unprosecuted scandals (which may or may not have been illegal in nature), or politicians who have only been arrested or indicted. The list also does not include crimes which occur outside the politician’s tenure unless they specifically stem from acts while they were in office.
Although the convicted politicians are arranged by presidential terms starting with the most recent, many of the crimes have little or no connection to who is President.

Stupid that is the point of this thread
 
Most in the GOP are criminals. So it's natural for the rubes in their base to rejoice whenever a Democrat is caught doing something for a change.

About as many as republicans most likely. Though since it's such a miniscule non-issue nobody's really bothered to do a major study about it so who knows.
