Low-cost vote-rigging

TITUSVILLE, Fla., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A brouhaha has reportedly erupted in the race for a Florida state House seat after one of the candidates mailed postage stamps to voters.

The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Friday that Democratic Party officials are accusing Republican candidate Sean Campbell of violating a state election law by mailing stamps to voters. Campbell reportedly urged voters to use the free stamps to mail in their absentee ballots for Tuesday's election.

Not much to fuss over, you would think, but of course the opposition saw its chance:

"How is this different from walking door-to-door and giving people two quarters to vote for you?" Schale was quoted as saying. "Is that OK?"

Every man has his price. In Florida, it seems, that price is remarkably low.
