Allegations of a votes-for-money scheme involving McAllen mayoral candidate Ric Godinez’s campaign first surfaced after it was revealed 80 percent of that election’s mail-in votes were cast for the 39-year-old attorney.
South Texas is a pathetic nest of corruption.
Strange, nowhere did I see their political party mentioned.
I wonder why.
hmmmmm.
San Juan, ??? Puerto Rico?
The article never mentions where.
McAllen I know is in Texas, but I never heard of a San Juan, Texas.
Lame-o BS excuse, nobody is that stupid.
Let me guess, they're all conservative Republican Bush voters? NO? You mean they're Democrats?!!! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
"All along we felt this was a misunderstanding and
they did nothing wrong," he said. "We see there’s an opportunity to improve our election process, so this doesn’t happen again."
"nothing wrong"?!!! Lying and cheating, normal Dim values. They don't even know or can concieve of the idea that it's wrong doing they're so ethically and morally "challenged".
Yeah,...it's ok to vote twice. Why not 3 or 4 times? Ooops, I forgot, that's normal "Democratic" policy and procedure.
What is a "politiqueras"?
As long as people are not punished for this crime, there will be no incentive to stop it. This really ticks me off.
Mexican corruption oozes north
They're using pressure now. Damn, that's cold. At least the oldtime political bosses used to pay for votes. The price in San Antonio went to from a dollar pre-WWII to $5. the last I heard.
Voter inflation to match the voting rolls.
Hey Swinney! You live down here. You know that graft and corruption is the culture brought to us from Mexico.
What's wrong with this picture? I don't see anything wrong. It's a normal way of life down here in a society that emulates Mexico, not the United States.
Get a speeding ticket in Mathis and a little money under the table will erase all traces of the infraction. On second thought, you may not be a relative of the mayor, a member of the city counsel, or an important politico in that area.
