Bribery Pays Off in Election Win

Illinois lawmaker Derrick Smith won a primary election tonight in a battle for a State lawmaker position despite being accused of bribery.

Just last week, an undercover FBI recording caught the Lawmaker accepting a $7,000.00 cash bribe.

Despite being arrested by the FBI last week, Smith won his election by more than a 2 to 1 margin.

Since the arrest, Smith has refused calls to resign and has refused to comment on the arrest. Maybe this is a new way to win elections: Get arrested before the election and instead of talking to everyone, refuse to comment on the arrest as if it didn't happen and crush your opponent 2 to 1.
