Brazil candidate 'handed out cocaine with election leaflets'

How far are you willing to go to win an election? Would you go so far as to pay the voters, or blackmail your competitors, or would you go so far as to hand out drugs. According to reports a Brazil city council candidate has been arrested after she was caught allegedly handing out cocaine with her election leaflets thats a pretty good way to convince people huh...? Carme Cristina Lima, 32 years of age, was running for councillor of Itacoatiara, in the northern states of Amazonas in Brazil. Police officials bacame suspicious of Ms. Carme Cristina Lima when a large crowd allegedly gathered around her car on the morning of the elections on Sunday. The cops decided to search her car and low and behold found hundereds of tiny packets of cocaine within the confines of the vehicle. As well as leaflets with instructions on how to vote for her its just another example of pure genious... Am I right? So I guess it's a pretty straight forward answer as to who won the elections. So for those of you who would rather cheat than play fairly when it comes to elections how about you suck it up and lose with dignity instead of trying to bribe people to vote for you. Oh.. and for the love of God don't give drugs to people cause its just gonna wind up getting you caught! Votes yes, Cocaine no. Take my advice don't be an idiot.
