STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Three men have been convicted on charges they bought votes for the November 2002 election in Caldwell County.

A federal jury determined Friday that Wayne Shatley, Carlos Hood and Ross Banner conspired to pay voters to register and vote with the purpose of securing the elections of Republican candidates. Sisters Anita and Valerie Moore pleaded guilty earlier in the year and testified against the men.

Prosecution witnesses testified they were paid $25 to vote for Sheriff Gary Clark or a straight Republican ticket and $10 to register to vote.

Clark, who won the election, has said the defendants had nothing to do with his campaign.

All three men are free on $25,000 bond. Sentencing could take a few months, according to U.S. District Court Judge Richard.

Shatley could receive as many as 20 years in prison. Hood faces up to 10 years and Banner up to 15 years, said Suellen Pierce, spokeswoman for the office of the U.S. Attorney of the Western District of North Carolina.

Caldwell County is about 60 miles northwest of Charlotte.

Sounds like the three in question as well as the sisters were part of a secret liberal Democrat plot to make the Republican Party look bad.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to join my wife and daughters in our newly redecorated Hitlertorium for a loviing rescreening of Triumph of the Will.

Carry on.

Would you like some bibles to burn? My girlfriend and I were about to sit by the fire for the night to enjoy Mein Kampf and the Koran and had a few extra. Plus the fumes from that whacky bible paper really gets you high.

Sarcasm from three people in a row? I think good humor just commited suicide.

Hmm a personal attack on someone(and his family) who has not even joined this thread. I always wondered what it took to become an elite member of this board. Apparently the bar is set quite low.

They only got caught.

Amazing what a fifth of booze can get you.

Taste of white powder works well in DC elections.

 

[EagleKeeper]

What is the difference between providing actual cash, and/or promissing to provide funds to put up some prok project. Only where the $$ come from.
Puclic trough or private pockets.
Still it is vote buying.

You could always ask CkG's buddy Format C:, of course, he agrees with your political viewpoint so maybe not?

In here perknose is everyones biatch.
and in prison perknose would be everyones biatch.



This was absolutely unneccessary. Take some time off to reconsider your approach here.

Election fraud should not be tolerated from either side. Wether it's cigarettes, booze, cash, whatever.

If this is the case, can you please provide a list of who we can safely insult and who cannot be safely insult.

But it does appear perknose can insult anyone at will and ozoned cannot.

We told you to PM us in the future. You did not. Have some time off to reconsider.
