Indiana Secretary Of State Charlie White guilty of voter fraud? But… but… what about the Great and Powerful Voter ID Law (.pdf) that was supposed to prevent all that? This is the guy who is charge of elections for the entire state – the big cheese – the top banana and he cheated! Oh, the arrogance!
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White was convicted of six felonies early this morning, and consequently lost his job.
But the Republican could get it back soon.
White, 42, Fishers, plans to ask a judge to reduce his convictions – all class D felonies – to misdemeanors at sentencing. It’s uncertain whether that move would allow him to reclaim his job.
“We don’t know the right answer to that,” White said. “This is all very new.”
The little man behind the curtain is scheming even now to keep the office in Republican hands for the 2012 election.
“I have chosen not to make a permanent appointment today out of respect for the judge’s authority to lessen the verdict to a misdemeanor and reinstate the elected office holder,” the Republican governor said in the news release.
Beware – flying monkeys are on the loose in Indiana.
