There IS Voter Fraud, Just as the Republicans Say.

Democrats have been critical of voter ID laws and other attempts by Republican state governments to suppress the vote. Democrats usually win when voter turn out is high.  The critics of voter ID laws claim there is no evidence to support allegations of widespread voter fraud.

Indiana Republicans have responded brilliantly with absolute evidence of one case of voter fraud in their state. The case was reported by the Indianapolis Star on February 4. A jury of twelve convicted Charlie White, the Republican Secretary of State, of three count of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft.  All were felony convictions.  Under the law White cannot hold public office if convicted of one or more felonies. White is looking for a friendly judge to reduce his felony convictions to misdemeanors.

Governor Mitch Daniels (a rising star in the Republican Party) is not too dismayed by this turn of events.  He made a temporary appointment to the position of Secretary of State.  He explains he did not make a permanent appointment because if White’s felony convictions are reduced to misdemeanors he may return to his position as Secretary of State. 

Say it isn’t so, Mitch.
