To what depths won’t folks sink in an election year? How easy is it for corrupt election handlers to get in bed with the likes of downtrodden drug addicts? It seems that in Alabama a desperate crack feind can apply for an absentee ballot for free and then turn it over for cash from underhanded election workers whose motive is to landslide a district for a single candidate. Alabama State Sec. Beth Chapman conducted an investigation and discovered that absentee ballots can go for about $40 cash or $40 worth of crack. Are election workers handing over crack rocks as well? Are you serious?
But wait, here’s the twist that’ll be a surprise to some but not to others — the whistleblower here, Sec. Chapman, is Republican and she’s alleging her fraud charges against the state’s Dems. This resurfaces the battle between the parties over voter requirements like multiple forms of ID. This was from last month’s NYTimes story, “Officials Investigate 3 Alabama Counties in Voter Fraud Accusations“:
The accusations have larger national implications at a moment when many Republican officials around the country have cited rampant voter fraud as a justification for stricter identification requirements at the polls, a move that Democrats have said is really designed to dampen the turnout among Democratic voters.
And here’s this week’s take from FOX:
