Right to Party over Right to Vote

Ohio State Rep. Robert Mecklenborg

State Rep. Robert Mecklenborg (R), key sponsor of the Ohio bill that cracks down on voting rights (part of which is soon to become law) was arrested in April for drunk driving with a 26 year old woman as his passenger and Viagra in his system.

Ironically, losing his drivers license might complicate his ability to vote, though presumably he can get a non-drivers state ID to allow him to vote.
