UPDATE: Butt Biter Behind Plan to Split State's Electoral Votes

Charles Hurth, city attorney for the tiny town of New Haven, Mo., is one of the main men behind the push to make California Electoral College votes more Republican-y, a confusing ploy that would split the votes by congressional districts. But Hurth also has another claim to fame:

Charles "Chep" Hurth III was best known for a headline-grabbing incident a decade ago in which he bit a young female law student on the butt in a bar...Hurth, then a third-year law student at St. Louis University, was taken to court by a young woman who said he grabbed her in a bar and bit her on the buttocks so hard she required medical attention - then laughed and high-fived his friends...Hurth testified that he had told her she should take it as a compliment...The female attorney sued him and took something else instead - a jury's award of $27,500 for damages.

It's fascinating to see how far the GOP can fall without bottoming out.

UPDATE: Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times reports that the Electoral vote initiative backers are calling it quits. Alas. But, Charles, look at the bright side: more time for you to sink your teeth into more ass. Yay! Anyway, read more about it here. (Thanks for the tip, reader.)
