Bryant bolsters LCRW coffers; Rupp vows to protect the integrity of votes

The Commercial Dispatch, 4/11/7

State Auditor Phil Bryant knows how to warm up an audience. Before delivering a speech Tuesday to a meeting of the Lowndes County Republican Women, the Republican lieutenant governor hopeful promised to send the organization $500.

Although he made no cash offers, former Columbus Mayor Jeffrey Rupp also addressed the gathering. Rupp, a Republican candidate for secretary of state, told the LCRW that he would take a hardline approach to preventing voter fraud.
