“Trio sentenced for role in vote-buying scheme”

AP offers this report from Kentucky. Like many of these reports, it does not describe in any detail how the fraud took place, and whether absentee ballots were involved. The only details provided are: “The three said Walter Shrout, at the time the Bath County judge-executive, and local businessmen Roosevelt ‘Sonny’ Swartz, gave them money to pay some of the county’s poorest residents to vote for Shrout. Shrout ended up winning the election.”
