Vote Buying Scheme
According to ABC News four Illinois Democrats have pleaded guilty on vote buying charges and five more Democrats have been charged by Federal prosecutors,
An undetermined number of voters were paid $5 or $10 to cast a Democratic ballot in the Nov. 2 election, court records said. The money allegedly came from the St. Clair County Democratic Committee, though there was no indication the county committee knew how the funds would be used.
Captain's Quarters writes
It sounds like their co-conspirators cut a deal in order to reduced their jail time, which means they're looking to find bigger fish to fry. The seven committee members fit that bill, but it wouldn't surprise me if the investigation doesn't stop there.
