In my state our Commissioner of Elections (also an elected position, talk about opportunity for recursive corruption) was caught demanding kickbacks from voting machine companies. He is now in jail. This is evidence of corruption and it is also evidence that corruption, even in the arguably most politically corrupt state in the USA can be caught and serve hard time.

By the way, the voting machine companies are the ones who brought this to light by informing the US Attorney's office. Maybe they are part of an even more braniac conspiracy of some sort that involved undermining the political independence of the elected office. That was what the convicted felon tried to argue in his defense. It have been a really interesting conspiracy had it been proven in court. The jury rejected it and jailed the guy, Fowler, IIRC.

Maybe it was true and really evidence of an even deeper conspiracy. If it is possible and nobody is checking into it, then is probably true.
