Texas Democrats have been arrested by the FBI and accused of buying votes with cocaine, marijuana, beer, and cigarettes.
After an eighteen-month-long investigation, the FBI arrested two political operatives who worked for an unnamed campaign manager.
The FBI has not released whose campaign was involved, but there are only two options: A.C. Cuellar Jr., and Joel Quintanilla. They both claim they never had a campaign manager.
BizPac Review details the sordid case:
Veronica Saldivar and Belinda Solis, known as politiqueras, paid campaign workers, were each given $25 worth of cocaine, the campaign manager admitted, and told to buy votes with them. Their bond was set at $10,000 and if convicted, each could face five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
In the 2012 general election, the campaign manager confessed that he gave Solis $40 in cash and $20 worth of cocaine to entice voters for school board candidates, according to The Monitor.
She told agents that she paid three voters $10 each for their votes in 2012, $5 to her ex-husband, and gave another individual a "dime bag" of cocaine for his vote.
