The Indiana Rethuglican party has a little SOS problem.
The party nominee for the Secy of State is a guy named Charlie White. Old Charlie was on a local Indy suburb town board. He was also going through a divorce. In order to serve on the Fishers Town Board, Charlie had to live in Fishers. Which he did when he was first elected to the board.
And that's where the story goes bad for him. Charlie moved in May of this year. Out of his district, out of fishers. But he never told the town council, nor did he stop receiving his paycheck for serving on the board, even though it required him to be a resident in his district to even be on said board. And when he voted two months later, he used his ex-wifes address to still vote in the same district. He committed Voter Fraud. A class-D felony. He said he was too busy with his new marriage and running for office and he forgot to change his address. He has now resigned from the town council, but has yet to pay back his salary that he obtained illegally.
So there you go. Indiana GOP is running this man for the position of Secretary of State, To be the one man in charge of all the elections in Indiana. A state with super strict voter id laws (to prevent voter fraud, according to my man mitch) could possibly have the one and only person EVER convicted in Indiana for voter fraud, running the elections.
Maybe we can elect a true progressive for this office...
