Sale on votes! Just $25!

     Johnny Ford's allegation that some unidentified voter in Bullock County said Ford would have to pay him for his vote "just like the white folks" raises more questions than it answers.
     Why wouldn't Ford call a news conference to bring attention to the wrongdoing, and then refuse to identify the voter?
     Why was it necessary for him to identify the race, according to the Montgomery Advertiser story? Why does he not identify the race in the CBS-8 video (linked above)?
    Why would Ford not say if the voter named a particular politician?
    Ford, of course, is running for the District 28 Senate seat. Against six candidates, two of them white.
    He's also former Mayor of Tuskegee. And a former Republican. And a former Democrat before that.
