And the beat goes on... Vote Buying Is at Center of Kentucky Judge-Executive Case Then, to top it off, the guy hired one of the other vote-buyers to be his "administrative assistant" after his prison sentence ended. The irony of all this is that - as was noted earlier in the thread - the POINT of the ACRU (the source for these stories) is, consistent with the ROT, to undermine confidence in election results, in support of bogus election-fraud suppression efforts. But, the net generally catches Republicans. The ACRU is meant to sound like the ACLU, but is, in fact, the opposite (ya gotta read the fine print: "Since the 2010 elections, 15 states have put common-sense laws in place to help prevent cheating — but too many have not. In 2011, measures requiring photo ID were approved in 14 states, but five were vetoed by liberal governors.")

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
