Man Who Cheated With Mom-In-Law Elected

Banker Daniel Stout has won the Georgia House seat vacated by former Speaker Glenn Richardson.

Figures from the secretary of state's office show Stout had 935 votes, or 59.5 percent of the ballots cast in the special election Tuesday in the 19th House District, which covers part of Paulding County.

Stout is a Republican, as were the other two candidates in the contest. Ronny Sibley of Hiram received 560 votes, or 35.6 percent to finish second. J Cash of Dallas was third with 77 votes, or 4.9 percent.

Stout works for Highland Commercial Bank.

Richardson resigned earlier this year after his ex-wife confirmed that he'd had an affair with a lobbyist.

Stout also admits he also had an extra-marital affair, with his first wife's mother, 10 years ago. He and his first wife divorced, and Stout remarried in 2005.
