Vote fraud indictments in East Chicago, Indiana

From AP:

Curiously in this write-up, the party affiliation of the defendants is not mentioned:

Six more people face charges for illegal activity in the May 2003 East Chicago primary election, authorities said, bringing the total number of people charged to 11.

The Indiana State Police, along with the Lake County Prosecutor and Attorney General's joint task force investigating voter fraud and corruption, filed a total of 41 charges.

``The cleansing process continues in East Chicago with these latest charges,'' Attorney General Steve Carter said.

The charges, all felonies, include: receiving ballots from other people, voting outside the precinct where one lives, examining a ballot from another person and inducing others to vote using another person's name.

Hmm...here's another story, from the Gary Post-Tribune, closer to East Chicago, maybe they can help find out which political party was behind this.....

Nope, nothing there...

But luckily, I can tell you that these guys were all Democrats. Surprised?

Quick, get elections expert Jim Lampley on this story.
