Editorial from the Washington Post:  THE ACCELERATING investigation into the 2010 election campaign of D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray has
produced titillating revelations of bogus money orders, shredded
records, a hidden wire and now, it appears, bald-faced lies to the FBI.
But at the heart of the federal investigation is something precious and
important: the integrity of the electoral process. What happened in
2010, as U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. made clear in a pull-no-punches statement, is that “the voters of the District of Columbia were deceived.”
The election of Mr. Gray (D), who campaigned against former
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) on a theme of restoring integrity to
government, was aided by secret payments, fraudulent filings, stealth
deals and dirty tricks.
