Politician running on coke party platform hands out drugs to voters

When it comes to campaigns, some political candidates hand out badges, others pass out stickers, others give away baggies of cocaine … wait, what? Carme Cristina Lima was running for councillor of her hometown in northern Brazil, and that's "was" — past tense — since she was busted on Sunday morning while handing out leaflets with instructions on how to vote for her, along with a complimentary packet of coke. "There was a large gathering of people around Ms. Lima, but when they saw the police, they all ran away," police chief Daniel Ottoni said. "The candidate and another man also fled by car, but officers caught up with them." See, kids? Winners never use and users never win (because they're in jail on election day).
