An Indiana State Police investigation into potential petition fraud by a volunteer for Democrat presidential candidate Dean Phillips’ campaign continues in St. Joseph County, where the local Democratic Party leader was convicted a decade ago on a petition forgery scheme.
St. Joseph County Clerk Amy Rolfes told The Federalist that she and her staff late last month discovered hundreds of what appeared to be fraudulent petition signatures and addresses. Rolfes alerted state elections officials and the State Patrol, which last week launched an investigation.
“They are making progress,” Rolfes said. “I know it’s not sitting. They’re taking it very seriously.”
Indiana State Police Sgt. Ted Bohner told The Federalist on Wednesday that he could not comment on an ongoing investigation, but said the review “is probably going to be lengthy.”
Rolfes said she knows the identity of the campaign volunteer but cannot release details at this time.
The clerk said the Phillips campaign volunteer showed up at the end of the business day on Jan. 25 with about 80 petition documents to help get Phillips on Indiana’s presidential ballot. The Minnesota congressman is running an improbable campaign for the Democratic Party presidential nomination against incumbent President Joe Biden. Indiana’s primary is scheduled for May 7.

For those not aware St. Joseph county, Indiana is the home of South Bend and Notre Dame.
“Indiana wants me....”
Impossible, Democrats/media say there is no election fraud.
For real or is this more virtue signaling?
That doesn’t surprise me. Lake County is also corrupt.
Home of Joe’s Transy Sec
Drop in the bucket, but I'm not surprised.

I thought it was going to be Lake County when I saw the headline.
And Peter Buttigig.
So did I.
I've been looking at possibly retiring to Rensselaer, IN but that's about as close as I would want to get.
Born and raised in South Bend. Last Republican mayor was the much loved Lloyd Allen (1964-72).
Like so many large and mid sized cities it is going down the toilet. Of course it is also the home of the much unloved highly incompetent Pete Buttigieg.
No we don’t!
