Reagan calls bribery report underhanded and false
The FBI investigated alleged vote bribery by men claiming to be Reagan campaign workers aiming to sway Ford delegates for the GOP rules fight. Ronald Reagan rejected the charges as dirty politics. Officers reported two cases of attempted payments up to 2500 dollars, with at least one Ford delegate naming as a target. Marie Good was said to offer 2500 dollars for a Reagan-aligned vote, while Eddie Mack Jones denied being identified as a bribe target by Richard Ogilvie.
