Thanks. Sent it to them.
What we need to do is target the heavily Hispanic populated areas and on Election Day, have people loitering around with Polo shirts on that say “ICE”.
Bttt!
Vote buying in the guise of ‘walking around money’ to Mexican American pols, supposedly to assist in transporting voters to the polls is a long-time San Antonio tradition.
In Lyndon Johnson’s day, the SA Westside pols could buy votes for a dollar.
In the 70’s and 80s when I was involved in GOP politics the going rate was up to $5 for Dems. There was no market price for Republicans who were far outnumbered by Dems in most districts.
I was approached by one of the Westside pols who claimed he could get Mexican American votes for my candidate if he was given enough money to distribute.
We refused his generous offer because we didn’t think we could trust him. We lost the election against an incumbent by a very few votes, but the next election saw that seat become Republican due to demographics.
