We have our own “Marion Barry” here in Norfolk, VA. His name is Paul Riddick. He’s recently been under investigation for failure to pay taxes (I think employees’ withholding) for a number of years. He’s one big crook, but his Ward keeps reelecting him.

I think D.C. still has Norfolk beat though, do they post flyers in the Ward advertising free gift cards for coming out to vote for him?
of course, the candidate's name is not on the flyers - that particular info will be provided as you step off the bus at the polling station and receive your $10 gift card.
