Under the terms of a plea deal reached between outgoing Waukesha County DA Paul Bucher and former Democratic State Senate candidate Donovan Riley, the felony charge of vote fraud-voting more than once will be reduced to a misdemeanor. Even though he loses his law licenses in Wisconsin and Illinois, $10,000 and whatever campaign contributions are returned beyond what’s left in his campaign fund, the fact that the charge is reduced to a misdemeanor means that he can run again. Considering that he got 25% of the vote in the ‘Rat primary despite officially dropping out, he’ll be state Senator by 2011.
Thanks for nothing, Paul.
