Fenty Buying Votes

[jsteele]

Speaking of Ron Moten and vote buying, maybe we should start calling him Ron Breitbart. Tonight Moten uploaded a video to YouTube that he claims shows the Gray campaign buying votes. When you watch the video, you will see a woman with a hidden camera who approaches another woman who asks her if she wants a $10 gift card. The undercover woman asks if she she has to vote for Gray. The other woman clearly says, "No, we are a non-partisan organization". Later, the undercover woman asks a man if this is the "Gray van" and he says "yes, ma'am". From what I understand, the group handing out the gift cards is not the Gray campaign, but Cora Barry's organization. She is a Gray supporter, so there is still a link, but it's pretty tenuous. But, if Fenty is paying hundreds of dollars for votes and Gray is paying $10, Gray can at least make an argument that he is the fiscal conservative.

Here is the video:
