http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/05/court-document-republican-election-judge-bought-votes-with-oxycontin/Clay County, Kentucky has a reputation for corrupt government. After years of federal investigations and numerous authorities landing in jail, each progressive revelation becomes that much less shocking.
But this one still packs a punch.
According to local media:
A former Clay County election officer plans to plead guilty to a charge that he took part in a vote-buying scheme with prominent public officials.
The attorney for Paul E. Bishop filed a motion Thursday seeking a hearing for him to plead guilty to one count of racketeering.
That charge alleges that members of the conspiracy used the county Board of Elections as a vehicle to corrupt voting between 2002 and 2007 so they could hold on to power and enrich themselves and others.
