Oh, wait, those people are black and they deliver votes for him. Those following the East Saint Louis voting scandal should remember that everything the Feds have found out could have been investigated by the local St. Clair County Prosecutor.
That the Central Committee was corrupt isn’t news to anyone. Even Carl Officer can tell you that. The question is why did the white Democratic machine in St. Clair County tolerate it for so long.
If a community ever needed help and a clean system it is East Saint Louis, a town that has little hope. Democratic principles are based upon the belief that those of us who are most vulnerable must be protected and empowered to provide for themselves. In St. Clair County that has been perverted to protecting the benefits of a corrupt white power structure that uses tiny black towns as a way to get votes in return for overlooking petty corruption. The weakest are sold out and forced to live in towns where vice is a way of life and what few resources are available are syphoned off for the connected.
It took the FBI to come in and help a honest cop uncover that corruption.
Great post!
