English is not my first language. I have never heard the term "Graft", even if I consider myself quite literate in English. So here you go, for everybody else in my situation:
Graft, as understood in American English, is a form of political corruption, being the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.
Edit: by the way, I really couldn't fit the term with the article. And realized I was probably looking at the wrong definition. This one might be much more apt:
a shoot or twig inserted into a slit on the trunk or stem of a living plant, from which it receives sap.
