No big deal. He's a democrat....

From his website: Donovan Riley - A Democrat who will vote like one for the 7th District(http://www.rileyforstatesenate.org/)

The more you vote, the better you feel: "State Senate candidate Donovan Riley is a big believer in democracy.
So much so that he rarely misses a chance to vote.
And, in one case, Riley may have gone so far as to vote twice in the same election.
Yep, that's right - twice in the same election.
.......... Riley, a 69-year-old former CEO of the University of Illinois Hospital, voted twice in the 2000 general election, once in Chicago and then again in Oconomowoc (WI). A well-heeled liberal Democrat, Riley is running a vigorous primary campaign against state Sen. Jeff Plale, a conservative Dem from South Milwaukee.
Late Friday, Riley offered this stunning written response to the charges:
'My best recollection is that I was splitting my time between Wisconsin and Illinois, and it's possible I made a mistake
. If the Elections Board decides to look into this matter, I will gladly assist.'
Not what you would call a vigorous defense.
