At Least He's Not Your Secretary Of State...

  • 13 Comments

( – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Not that Sec. Gessler has been a major win for the State of Colorado, and not that he hasn’t tried to step over the line a few times already, but he has nothing on Indiana Secretary of State (for now) Charlie White:

Charlie White [R-Fishers], the recently elected Secretary of State, was indicted for:

     * Voter Fraud (3 counts)
     * Perjury (2 counts)
     * Theft (1 count)

Yes, Charlie managed to prove the Republican mantra that voter fraud does exist in our system.  And yes, Sec. White is supposed to be in charge of Indiana’s voting systems and elections.  And yes, Indiana has one of those ultra-strict voter ID laws that is supposed to catch people committing voter fraud.

(h/t dhonig @ dKos)

So what did Charlie White do to draw 6 counts from a grand jury?

Well, he started as a councilman in Fishers.  After divorcing his wife, he moved to an apartment (re-registering his address properly), and then decided to move to a condo.  Except that the condo wasn’t in the Fishers city limits, which would have meant he would lose his council position.  Simple solution?  He re-registered – using his ex-wife’s address!

Sec. White will continue to do the job he was elected to do, saying

I am humbled by the outpouring of support.

I think he must mean this outpouring of support:

This news is sad and regrettable, but the only course of honor is for Mr. White to step down from his duties, at least during the duration of these proceedings until a verdict is reached.

That would be Republican Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels.  With friends like those…

  1. to live in really fraud? If so, I know a certain former elected official, current candidate, who should explain his carpetbagging, mom’s address using self.

    But I digress…

    I understand the perjury and fraud charges, but what’s the theft?

      1. so a year, to the day, before the residency requirements kicked in he changed his registration to his mommy’s house.

        Apparently in IN that would be fraud. Here it seems to be fine.

            1. Romer might actually have spent some time living at mom’s place; Charlie White did not live at his former residence currently occupied by his ex…

              Asking for prosecution of Romer is probably up to the SoS’s office, and they haven’t done anything.
