Drugs, Vote Fraud Led to Corruption in Eastern Kentucky

There was a time when vote fraud was so pervasive in Clay County that a lot of honest people saw no reason to vote, said Ken Bolin, pastor of Manchester Baptist Church. "They knew it was already bought and paid for," Bolin said of local races. Vote-buying is deeply rooted in Eastern Kentucky's political culture, helping to make the region a hot spot for federal public-corruption cases. From 2002 through 2011, there were 237 public-corruption convictions in the federal Eastern District of Kentucky, compared to 65 in the western district, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. It wasn't the first decade in which the eastern half of the state had one of the highest rates of corruption convictions per capita in the United States.

Wisconsin House Passes Another Voter ID Bill

MADISON -- The Wisconsin Assembly approved the new voter ID measure by a 54-38 vote, with all Republicans supporting it and all Democrats opposed. The measure requires that voters without a photo ID could still cast ballots if they bring a sworn statement to polling places stating they are too poor to afford a photo ID, could not obtain a birth certificate or other necessary documentation, or have a religious objection to being photographed. The Republican-controlled Legislature previously approved a voter ID law in 2011, but it was blocked by judges in two different cases.

Wisconsin Trial over Voter ID Law Underway

A federal trial began on Nov. 4 over Wisconsin's voter ID law. The trial involves two cases and is expected to last two weeks. A Dane County judge in a different case has already blocked the law, but opponents of voter ID are pursuing the federal litigation in an attempt to ensure the requirement never goes back into effect. Minorities and senior citizens testified Monday about costly and time-consuming difficulties they faced in getting photo identification as they pressed their case to permanently invalidate Wisconsin's voter ID law. Assistant attorneys general defended the law in court, saying requiring IDs was a reasonable way to curb fraud and maintain public confidence in the way the state runs elections.
