Text messages released to Got News and a recorded interview with Reverend Fielder confirmed that Saleem Baird, a staffer with the Cochran campaign and current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, and Cochran campaign manager, Kirk Sims, were involved in a $15-per-vote cash bribery scheme to target members of the black community.

“They said they needed black votes,” said the Reverend Fielder on the phone. He says Baird told him to “give the fifteen dollars in each envelope to people as they go in and vote. You know, not right outside of the polling place but he would actually recruit people with the $15 dollars and they would go in and vote.” Fielder said he received thousands of dollars in envelopes from Baird and distributed them accordingly. Fielder also says he went to the campaign office on another occasion to pick up $300 in cash and was among a room full of people who were doing the same thing he was.
Apparently, as you can see at the gotnews site...linked in the above article....the dimwits actually sent text messages about the pay offs. Geez.

A typo.... and a very sketchy web site with only one page.

http://gotnews.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The article on the gotnews site was bolsterd by a reference on Breitbart. Still seems sketchy to have a one-page "news" web site.
