I wonder why I can't find THIS JEWEL on the mainstream media outlets? Maybe it's because it is about a Dhimmicrat EX-Mayor CAUGHT CHEATING. Before I go to far, Dhimmicrat Congcritter Rick Boucher runs this district. Kinda makes ya wonder.
To task.
In the INTENSELY DHIMMICRAT town of Wise, Virginia, there lurked a mayor who bought votes with beer, cigs, PORK RINDS, and probably a few scratch and win lotto tickets. He pleaded guilty to TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE FELONIES that INCLUDE VOTE-RIGGING and CORRUPTION!
"I coulda been a sombody! I wuz robbed!"
Ben Cooper (D)
WISE, Va. — The former mayor of a tiny coal town who prosecutors say masterminded a scheme to buy votes with beer, cigarettes and even pork rinds, pleaded guilty Thursday to 243 felonies, including vote-rigging and corruption.
Wise County Circuit Judge Tammy McElyea made former Appalachia mayor Ben Cooper plead individually to each of the charges against him, which included stealing election records, forging ballots, hindering the rights of citizens to vote freely, voting more than once in an election and violating absentee voting procedures.
By the time she reached the 11th charge, Cooper, 64, was saying "guilty" before she had finished reading the charge.
In addition, THIRTEEN OTHER PEOPLE HELPED HIM! They said the accused conspirators intercepted absentee ballots from the mail, filled them out and forged the signatures of the intended voters.
Cooper is scheduled to be sentenced 9 Jan 07 and could get up to 21 months in prison, based on state sentencing guidelines. His plea agreement left sentencing up to the judge.
TWENTY-ONE MONTHS! THAT'S IT!? Must be nice to be a corrupt Dhimmicrat, in a DHIMMICRAT County, managed by a DHIMMICRAT Congcritter!
C'Mon Nancy, jump on your broomstick and clean THIS MESS UP!
