Last August, Michael Zore joined double voter Donovan Riley, disgraced Democrat candidate for the Wisconsin state Senate, as being convicted of voting twice in the same election.
"I forgot" didn't get Zore off the hook.
Today, he was sentenced.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A man who voted twice in the November 2006 election and was convicted of two felonies after arguing unsuccessfully that it happened because of a memory lapse, was sentenced to a year in the county House of Correction this morning by Milwaukee Circuit Judge William W. Brash III.
"This is, from this court's perspective, a lifeblood issue," Brash told Michael A. Zore of his offense. "It is what we are as a people."
Zore, 45, was ordered to serve two years' probation, with the first year behind bars without work or other daytime release. He is eligible for good-behavior release from the HOC, which could come as soon as eight months into the sentence. Zore is to report to the House of Correction Jan. 2.
If he breaks probation, a stayed sentence of 18 months in prison and 12 on extended supervision will be invoked. He had faced the possibility of up to 7 years in prison.
I have a bad feeling about this.
With Zore's poor memory, I think there's a high probablity that he's going to forget he's on probation.

I personally know Mike Zore as a fellow choir member in a church. He is absent minded and was under much stress.
The sentence was ridiculous. Brash sentenced Mike Zore more harshly than he did Mr. Hughes, a sex offender of an underage girl.
By the way, how harsh was the sentence of the Demorats kid who slashed the Republican van on election day? How many of those who listed false addresses and submitted fake absentee ballots were prosecuted?
Mike may me forgetful, but you have no excuse except for complete ignorance.
Complete ignorance?
Zore voted TWICE within the space of six hours.
No one is that "absent-minded."
No one is that "absent minded"??? I hear and read about mothers and fathers who forget their OWN children at day care, at school functions, and in the back seat of their vehicles. Mike Zore is no anti American, nor a threat to anyone, but judgemental, fast talking but slow thinking folks like yourself...now , you scare me.
I have never understood how parents "forget" their own children. It's inexcusable.
Zore voted twice in the same election. That makes him a threat to every single voter.
