California state Sen. Roderick Wright was convicted Tuesday of perjury and voter fraud for falsely claiming he lived in an apartment in the district he represents when he actually lives elsewhere.

Can't blame Sen. Wright he doesn't want to live with the homies in Inglewood but rather in Caucasian acres in Baldwin Hills.

[Fungi]

No party affiliation mentioned—must mean he is a Democrat.

[Libloather]

From what I hear, Pelosi lives outside of her district.

How is that possible? Liberals are always saying voter fraud is a myth.

[null and void]

Any penalty attached to his getting caught?

[Bob]

Of course he’s a Democrat. The AP mysteriously was unable to determine this.

[Bob]

Oops - the Chronicle.

IIRC, Dick Cheney lived in Texas. Or Wyoming. Or Texas and Wyoming.

If you own the property and aren't renting it out, in effect you live wherever you say you live.

So I'm wondering why the long knives are out for this guy.

Maybe he’s going to give up a little vote fraud info for a reduced penalty?

It’s not illegal for members of the U.S. House to live outside their district... they merely need be a resident of the same state.

From what I hear, Pelosi lives outside of her district.

She has two California residences, one in San Franciso (Pacific Heights), the other in St. Helena (Zinfandel Lane). How much time she spends at each is unknown.

When Judicial Watch won a Freedom of Information request on her flights while speaker, more flights went into Travis AFB (closer to Napa) than went into Moffett Field NAS (closer to SF). The conclusion would be she spent more time in Napa than in SF.

Her Napa estate is (was?) on Google maps, BTW.
