This is an impressive case of corruption – buying and selling votes -and will be remembered for a long time in Alabama:

“The owner of Alabama's largest casino, four state senators and several lobbyists face federal charges of conspiring to buy and sell votes for millions of dollars to get electronic bingo legalized, according to an indictment released Monday.

One lobbying firm employee has pleaded guilty to offering $2 million for the vote of an indicted senator.”
