UPDATE: Political Groups Won't Be Prosecuted For Bribery Charges

Correction: Bruce Langdorff, an assistant district attorney with Milwaukee County, wrote a letter saying he wouldn't prosecute the bribary charges. The previous story inaccurately said the groups were found not guilty. Patch regrets the error. We've also included the .PDF of the letter in the photos, videos and PDFs gallery.

Original story: Two political groups Wisconsin Right to Life, a conservative group, and Wisconsin Jobs Now!, a liberal group, were found not guilty of bribery charges.

Turns out courting potential voters isn't considered bribery, according to a Journal Sentinel article.

The reason: no one specifically said, here's a gift, now vote the way we need you to vote. And that made all the difference in both of these cases. But this story serves as a gateway to a larger discussion about how far groups are going these days to garner votes for their candidates. Wisconsin has long been locked in a civil war about taxes and how we pay public employees, which is why these groups exist -- to influence voters.

But what should the boundaries be? And ultimately, how do you as a voter want to be treated?
