ItвЂ™s been nearly two years that this has drug on and it just feels like a weight off my shoulders,вЂќ he said. Nick Nemec, BoeverвЂ™s cousin who has been a constant advocate for a severe punishment for Ravnsborg, said the votes were вЂњvindication.вЂќ Ravnsborg in September agreed to an undisclosed settlement with BoeverвЂ™s widow. He did not answer questions from reporters as he exited the Capitol. RavnsborgвЂ™s face showed little emotion throughout the votes, holding his hand over his mouth as he had for much of the trial, then writing on a notepad in his lap. Votes to bar Ravnsborg from future office, taken on both counts, were unanimous. The malfeasance charge - Ravnsborg also asked investigators what data could be found on his cellphone, among other things - sailed through with 31 votes. Senators mustered the bare minimum 24 votes to convict Ravnsborg on the first charge, with some senators saying the two misdemeanors he pleaded guilty to weren't serious enough crimes to warrant impeachment.

The convictions required a two-thirds majority in the Senate, controlled 32-3 by Republicans.
