James Traficant
(Youngstown, Ohio) Former Ohio congressman James Traficant will be running for election in November as an independent in the Ohio 17th Congressional District.
Despite spending seven years in prison for political corruption, Traficant has been able to collect enough signatures to be placed on the ballot.
Notably, it's not uncommon for convicted felons to run for high political office ... and win, I should add.
In fact, in a liberal sense Congress has often functioned as a halfway house for ex-cons returning to society. And according to present-day zoning restrictions, the Capitol probably couldn't be built within 1000 feet of a school.
