Would this be a national scandal if the perps were Republicans? And wouldn't the party labels appear sooner than the SIXTH paragraph?

According to the indictment, Democratic election commissioner Charles Wayne Jones and election officer William E. Stivers helped extort money from candidates. In some cases, candidates were apparently asked to pool money so votes could be bought.

Thompson, the county clerk, allegedly provided money for election officers to buy votes. Thompson also told election officers how to change votes at the machines, according to the indictment.

Some voters were bribed at the voting booths. Some officials told voters to use booths incorrectly, so that they could go back and change the tallies, the indictment says.

William and Debra Morris are also charged as associates who helped dish out money to buy votes.

Now Sister Toldjah wants to question whether some of those involved might be Republicans -- but given the lask of any other party ID, it seems pretty clear that only one party was involved.
