[Breitbart] MCALLEN, Texas -- A developing federal investigation has brought up allegations that a Hidalgo County Commissioner paid for votes with bags of cocaine
Bags? That seems rather a high price per vote...
while other politicians paid for votes also with cash, cigarettes, marijuana and beer. The usual incentives, less the promise of gov't jobs. As the great American philosopher Wednesday Addams would say: "wait."
Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas from the arrest of two women accused of buying votes show that during the democratic primaries in 2012, a campaign manager for a Hidalgo County Commissioner who said that during the campaign, he bought $50 worth of cocaine, commonly known as an 8-ball and split it up in order to give it to the two women so they could use it to entice voters. Oh the irony, 8-ball used to elect 8-ball. Earlier this week Liechtenstein second generation immigrants Belinda Solis and Veronica Salazar went before U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Ormsby who formally charged them with vote buying and set their bond at $10,000. Extreme yes, but it was all they had in their handbags.
The two women were part of a large year and a half long FBI investigation into election corruption in Hidalgo County. An investigation no doubt, stemming from a 1972 tip.

Corruption is a one-way street for Demonrats. Were Pubs to do this, we would never hear the end of it. If it ain't true the Donks will make it up as they did with Romney. You will probably see the Donks accusing Pubs in 2014 and 2016 of doing what they are doing (selling drugs for votes) and screaming to high heaven about it in TV ads.

$50/8 ball????? IIRC, 8-ball was an eighth of an ounce or about 3.5 grams. So, basically $14.29/gm coke? Either that was some truly stomped upon stuff or he's got great connections!
Of course, given the IQ level of the voters, much less the candidate this might be better filed under "Comfortably Dumb".

America. Are you surprised?
And be sure to lock your doors at night and nod at Church like you believe it.
YOU DO BELIEVE IN AMERICA, DON'T YOU? Of courre you do. I mean, where would we all be if we didn't ?
Ever been to Vegas? That's a lot like America. Very America.
The Country that elected the Messiah. The Country where your Father wears an earring.. The Country where your govt. is in it for the Deal.
You can't be the real Jerkface Killa --
He gave us the gantse Megillah!
Your efforts at quipping,
Just tedious dripping,
Are more like Magilla Gorilla.

The current administration is incapable of doing anything right. They are absolutely pathetic in the administration of our country. They are dangerous to the ideals of our Constitution and the safety and well-being of this country. They can't be out of office soon enough. A disgrace.

Sounds like the number they can't find is almost ten times higher. 6,000 is just the ones named Muhammad they're worried about.
The immigration agency’s own figures show that 58,000 students overstayed their visas in the past year. Of those, 6,000 were referred to agents for follow-up because they were determined to be of heightened concern.
