CHICAGO, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Defeated candidates in Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Chicago congressional district say voters were cheated because he is considering pleading guilty to fraud.
Jackson, who has kept a low profile for months and is being treated for bipolar disorder, was re-elected with 63 percent of the vote Tuesday in his urban, largely poor district on Chicago's South Side and south suburbans. Post-election revelations have Jackson in negotiations to plead guilty to a misuse of campaign funds, the Chicago Sun-Times said Friday.
