He won an election. While in jail

I understand that we are all innocent until proven guilty. But why would you vote for someone that may not be able to serve?

I’m sorry, if you have been accused of murder, you aren’t going to get my vote. Have voters lost their minds? Is there no bar too low?

For some, apparently not, convicted felons have even won elections, which has happened here in OH...I think some percentage of those who vote for men like that is because they believe he is innocent and don't think they are voting for a criminal

It's a symptom of the belief "They're all crooks and cheats, but at least this one is my crook!"

I was thinking about you and surprises. I tried looking up your birthday and for one reason or another I couldn't find it.
One thing that crushed my mind is sending you $50 to go to your favorite Italian restaurant. I think that would be a surprise - I don't know I'm still working on it, Hey Z, we all really do appreciate you
