Dem charged with a felony: can get 3 years and $100K fine

Colorado State Senator Pete Lee (D) and chair of the chambers judicial committee was indicted in early August for allegedly lying about where he lives for the purpose of voting. And this dolt is the freaking chair of the judicial committee--it's like a Babylon Bee story.

A grand jury for El Paso County indicted the Democrat, but he denies the charges, according to the Associated Press. The indictment alleges that on March 3, 2020, Lee “voted giving false information regarding the elector’s place of present residence,” the Colorado Sun reported.

Lying about one's residence is a Class 5 felony.

But it isn't as if he had documents on his computer about deals with China, or classified documents that only a President could declassify with just his word. It wasn't as if he video recorded himself smoking crack off the butt of a prostitute or "doing a Toobin" in a swimming pool and recording himself on video. No, it was lying about where he lived so that he could vote.

Lee had no comment when the indictment was handed down but he asked to be taken off the interim committee on judicial discipline because the irony was too ironic.

He wanted “to avoid having my personal circumstances become a distraction," [yadda, yadda] according to a statement, the AP reported.

Lee's lawyer said the case will be vigorously challenged.

Lee can get 3 years in the slammer and a fine of up to $100,000 if found guilty. But unlike Republicans, especially Republican Presidents, a Democrat is innocent until proved guilty in a court of law.
