$15 or a Pint of Whisky

Great. The vote fraud in WV has now reached even unto the BBC.

In the state’s deep coal-mining valleys and small towns full of old style barber shops and “gun and loan” stores, money still changes hands every election year.

According to several people I spoke to, the going rate for a vote these days is $15 or a pint of whisky.

Logan county may be the middle of nowhere, but it now could be the most famous middle of nowhere in West (by God) Virginia.

And just like S, no one’s offering me anything yet. But as a note to all you vote buyers out there: if it’s good whiskey, I’m willing to listen.
