It must be easy to win an election when....

you just buy the votes. We are within one week of the election day which is Sunday. Between the endless anthems of political music and large parades of cars going by life is almost normal. Now in politics it is no hidden fact that corruption does take place. You see it in the United States as well as any other country. Today I saw our current mayor of La Union driving around to different houses. Now this in itself is not wrong it is when you begin to buy the identification cards of the people in the city so you control the vote that it becomes a bit sketchy in my opinion. Now the people here act like it is all just part of the political process. Also by the way I wasn't actually in the house when this happened the people of this town have just told me over and over again that this is a normal happening. Living in a place like this always shocks me because the people are so poor an uneducated that they just allow this to happen. They don't see how the road is basically one big pothole and there is trash everywhere. They just see this as normal and go on with their lives. Sometimes I don't really know how to make this situation better it just makes me sad that it happens. So in this election its not about earning the votes because buying them is just so much easier.
