I don't want to hear another thing about Democrats paying off homeless people..


The Maryland state prosecutor is investigating allegations that up to 200 of Washington's homeless people were illegally paid $150 and bused to Prince George's County polling places on Election Day to hand out leaflets promoting the Republican candidate for governor.

State election law bars political candidates from paying people to work for them in a partisan manner on the day voters go to the polls. So-called "walk-around money" has been banned since the 1970s.
