5 indicted on charges of buying votes
Posted on Thu, Jul. 31, 2003
Long federal sentences at stake in election case
GREG LACOUR
Staff Writer

A federal grand jury indicted five people Wednesday on charges they conspired to pay Caldwell County residents for their votes in last year's November election.

The indictment alleges that, during early voting from Oct. 29 through Oct. 31, the five paid or offered to pay seven people $25 apiece to vote straight Republican tickets or at least for Republican sheriff's candidate Gary Clark. One person was offered $25 but wasn't paid, and another was paid a total of $35 -- $10 to register, $25 to vote, according to the indictment.

1. Pssst, wanna buy my vote?
Maybe if we conduct further investigations we will probably discover that the 5 are probably connected to the RNC and are paid Rush Limbaugh operatives.

LOL

2. Isn't that what bushco is doing with his "taxcuts"?
Giving all our money away in the treasury to ensure he gets to dirty up our White House for another 4 years?

WE THE PEOPLE have to get him OUT!
