Vote Fraud Trial Continues
KENTUCKY....
Testimony is set to continue next week in Frankfort in the vote-fraud trial of eight Clay County residents accused of scheming to buy votes. Former Manchester assistant police chief Todd Roberts testified Friday that another city police officer, Mike Bishop, told him Representative Tim Couch of Leslie County supplied $40,000 to buy votes in the 2002 primary and said he was also told Couch gave vote-buyers money in 2004. Last year, Couch said he didn't ask anyone to buy votes for him in 2002 and had no knowledge of it happening.
