Remember how the Republicans were telling everyone to look out for voter fraud in the 2010 Midterm elections?
"Be vigilant!" they said.
"Watch out for fraud!" they said.
Well, luckily everyone paid attention and the Republicans have found a slam dunk case of voter fraud.
Unfortunately, it is one of their own!
Doh!
Republican Secretary of State in Indiana indicted on voter fraud

For much of the 2010 election cycle conservatives warned about the potential of voter fraud from Democrats. Four months after the election conservatives finally appear to have a “slam dunk case” of voter fraud. However, the case appears to involve one of their own. Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White (R) has been indicted on seven felony counts of fraud, perjury, and theft related to the 2010 midterm elections.
As Secretary of State for Indiana, White serves as the top election official in the state. Democrats and Governor Mitch Daniels (R) have already signaled that White should step down given the serious nature of the allegations against him.
White allegedly lied about his address when he voted in the 2010 Republican primary in Indiana. White is also charged with perjury and fraud for allegedly lying to a financial institution about his place of residence. Finally, White is charged with theft after allegedly continuing to collect a paycheck from the Fishers Town Council member after moving from his designated district.
White allegedly lied about his residence so that he could keep his position as a member of the Fishers Town Council. The premise of the case is that White needed to hold on to this position in order to successfully run for Secretary of State in Indiana. In summary, White allegedly lied about his place of residence and voter qualifications in a district so that he could obtain an elected position where he would subsequently be in charge of enforcing state elections laws.
So a Republican commits election fraud to get elected to enforce election laws?
Well, you gotta give Charlie White style points, but wow.
So Republicans, if you are looking for more voter fraud, check your party rolls!
The truth is out there!
Bonus mug shot (which reminds me of Tom DeLay's, actually):
Reference, Tom DeLay:
Just send DeLay to Elgin to eat sausages for a week and you'd get Charlie White.
