1. That's a felony offense. They must be kept 22 months.

5. One of those "Dems" is mentioned in passing:
"Eaton told the Free Press that Schwartze, a Republican, and Robinette had hand-picked a Democratic replacement for her job
who was the wife of a prominent Republican and had no history of voting in Democratic primaries."
