You have my vote, Mr. Mayor

The mayor of a little coal town and 13 other people were charged Thursday with 269 counts of election fraud and corruption that included trading cigarettes, pork rinds and beer for votes.

A grand jury accused the 14 of fixing a 2004 election in Appalachia, a town of about 2,000 in Virginia's rugged southwestern corner.
