Bribery requires a certain ammount of honestity, doesn't it? :-)
Here in br there was some bribery in the election for the mayor
of Palmas, the capitol of the state of Tocantins [*]. They gave
R$ 50.00 [about US$ 25.00] to each voter, and then said he would
have to tell which was the clothing of the candidate in the
electronic machine to get another R$ 50.00.
But they didn't pay the second R$ 50.00 :-)
