Former Democratic State Rep. Hudson Hallum, his father, and a few campaign workers were caught red-handed trying to rig an election.
Their scheme involved bribing absentee voters with chicken dinners and vodka and going on to tamper with already filled-in ballots.
Their con ended abruptly after police were tipped off.
Ex-Rep. Hallum’s received the harshest sentence: one year home detention and three years probation. The court also imposed a $20,000 fine and 100 hours of community service.
Despite then-candidate Trump’s 33 point margin of victory over Hillary Clinton in the Razorback State, one of Arkansas’ four congressional districts – the Second – held by Republican French Hill, is considered competitive.
