Candidate for Mayor may get booted from ballot

As reported here, Omari-Tahir Garrett may get booted off of this November's ballot as a candidate for Mayor.

Why? Because he is a convicted felon, and has not had his voting rights restored. And what was he convicted of, you ask? For assaulting then Mayor Paul Schell, with a bull horn - in the face! - which Garrett said he didn't do, as he was nowhere near the scene of the incident at the time. This was proven to be false, as there was video of him doing the assault, plus several high ranking Seattle PD officials happened to witness the assault.

For once, KC Elections Director Dean Logan is doing something right!
