In what one could wish were the beginning of a trend, 5 Democrats were convicted of election fraud (or conspiracy thereto) in East St. Louis. One of the convicted, a Mr. Kelvin Ellis, is to be tried separately for attempted murder of a government witness. Mr. Ellis is well-acquainted with the criminal courts, having served a previous jail term in 1990 for extortion, and been indicted on tax evasion charges (trial pending).
Mr. Ellis was moved to such extreme measures because the witness had made allegations that Mr. Ellis was operating an “escort service” from the East St. Louis city hall. I suppose at least no one could complain that the city wasn’t providing enough services.
(Hat-tip to Ms. Malkin).
