Columnist Dan Savage to be Charged
with Felony Voter Fraud

Compiled By GayToday

dansavage2.jpg - 4.35 K Dan Savage Des Moines, Iowa—The Polk County attorney's office has decided to bring felony voter charges against gay sex columnist, Dan Savage, according to Mark Weinhardt who is Savage's attorney. The columnist, if convicted, faces as many as six years in jail.

In an article titled "Stalking Gary Bauer", and published by the online magazine, Salon, a flu-ridden Savage told how he'd infiltrated the Bauer campaign in Iowa and had attempted to give the homophobic politician his case of the flu by licking office pens and doorknobs.

Savage, who reportedly voted in Iowa's Presidential Caucus, was not a resident of Iowa.

He allegedly admitted to having established a temporary address at Des Moines' Kirkwood Hotel in order to be able to vote in the January caucuses.

Gary Bauer's Iowa campaign manager, Loras Schulte, expressed his satisfaction to reporters when it became apparent that Dan Savage was to be charged.

"The reason it was important to me," he said, "was because the whole process of our caucuses and voting is very dear to my heart…For someone...with so careless disregard for the privilege one has in voting... it didn't sit well with me."
