Democrats Indicted in Vote Buying Scheme
Five Democrats in East St. Louis have been charged in a scheme to buy votes in November’s election in a federal indictment unsealed today.
Federal prosecutors in southern Illinois charged four Democratic committeemen and one precinct worker in the indictment.
Yesterday, four others pleaded guilty to related vote-buying charges in federal court.
Court records indicate voters were paid five or ten dollars to cast a Democratic ballot in the November second election.
They allege that the money to buy votes came from the St. Clair County Democratic Committee.
U-S Attorney Ronald Tenpas says the allegations do not address how many voters may have been paid for their votes or whether it affected the outcome of any election.
Ohio went to Bush with a margin of just over 118K votes out of over 5.6 million cast.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any Republicans that have been indicted on charges of voter fraud?
