It hasn't been a good month for the GOP and election fraud. Two weeks ago, a Maryland jury convicted a Republican official who oversaw illegal voter-suppression tactics in the 2010 election. This week, a state judge found that Indiana's Secretary of State, Republican Charlie White, not only committed voter fraud in 2010, but wasn't even eligible to seek the office to which he was elected.

Kay at Balloon Juice added, “Besides the obvious embarrassment of the state official who is in charge of elections being indicted on charges of voter registration fraud, it's just perfect that this happened in Indiana, because Indiana paved the way for the voter suppression laws we're seeing all over the country…. Indiana has one of the most restrictive voter ID laws in the country, and that didn't stop their top elections official from registering and voting in the wrong place. That's because voter ID laws target the imaginary problem of voter impersonation fraud, while doing next to nothing to address the fraud that actually occurs.â€
