“It’s not every day that a politician with a county jail-issued ankle monitor — accused of having sex with his 17-year-old secretary — campaigns for re-election, and wins.  But that’s exactly what happened Tuesday in the Richmond, Virginia, suburb of Henrico County, where Joseph Morrissey snagged 42% of the vote to win re-election to the state’s House of Delegates, all while serving out a six-month jail sentence, the Richmond-Times Dispatch reported. And he did it while running as an independent. The election was a special one, called to fill Morrissey’s seat after he resigned from office after pleading guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Washington Post.”
