I agree felons should be removed from public office.

Simple assault or simple battery are not felonies.

In April 1978, Rep. Fred Richmond (D-N.Y.), was arrested in Washington for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old boy. He said only that he "made bad judgments involving my private life." In spite of a Democratic primary opponent's attempts to cash in on the headlines, Richmond easily won renomination and reelection.

I don't think this should nullify anything, but it would be very interesting so see what percentage of the people who voted that Thursday went to which party. As I read it, 70% of the vote total was in before that happened due to early and absentee voting.
