Woman Pleads Guilty To Vote Buying

KENTUCKY...
A Tompkinsville woman has pleaded guilty to buying votes in a 2006 election in Monroe County.
The U.S. Attorney's office for the Western District says 50-year-old Wanda Moore entered a guilty plea last week to a charge of conspiring to buy votes and buying votes during the general election.

A press release says Moore admitted to paying voters to vote for judge executive Wilbur Graves and instructed voters to cast absentee ballots.

The statement says Moore paid voters $40 on two occasions.

Moore faces up to 20 years in prison for the convictions. She will be sentenced on March 25.

A trial for Graves on vote buying charges is pending. Graves was defeated in the 2010 primary election.
