A former state representative and prominent Democratic leader and political consultant from Jennings County, Mike Marshall, has been indicted on multiples counts of vote fraud, forgery and perjury, along with Marshall's son, Chris, and another local Democrat, John Cook. The Columbus Republic has the story on the grand jury indictments just returned against the men:
Three Jennings County residents face a combined 65 felony counts after being indicted by a grand jury on charges of vote fraud, forgery and perjury.
Mike Marshall, a Democrat and president of North Vernon's Utilities Service Board, faces 12 Class D felony counts of forgery, 13 Class D felony counts of perjury and 20 Class D felony counts of vote fraud, according to paperwork filed with the Jennings County clerk's office.
Marshall's son Chris Marshall faces one count each of forgery and perjury and nine counts of vote fraud.
John Cook, a Democrat and member of the Utilities Service Board, faces two counts of forgery, three counts of perjury and four counts of vote fraud.
The case stems from an absentee ballot filed in last year's election.
Marshall, as the local Democratic party leader in Jennings County, has been credited in recent years with turning out incredibly large numbers of absentee ballots that have tipped several close races in favor of the Democrats, including a local state representative race that narrowly gave Democrats control of the Indiana House of Representatives a few years ago.
Marshall was featured in The Voting Film Project, a documentary on the 2008 presidential election along with another Indiana Republican Party activist, Dee Dee Benkie.

"Marshall, an openly gay man, started out running the campaign of Indiana's first openly gay congressional candidate, Kris Kiser, in Indiana's 7th congressional district in the 2006 primary race against former U.S. Rep. Julia Carson (D).
Marshall left Kiser's campaign after a falling out with the candidate. There were also allegations of wrongdoing committed by Marshall when he ran Joe Donnelly's 2004 congressional campaign in the 2nd District concerning the misuse of campaign funds."
Lovers' spat?
What’s interesting, is the comments made by stupid people on that site. Most all voter fraud is committed by DEMS, yet, some are still so ignorant that they blame Republicans. This country is in serious trouble.
It’s not about TRUTH anymore, in our media-centric society.
It’s about who controls THE NARRATIVE. And that is all that matters.
Well, so much for the “narrative” that no fraud exists so there’s no reason for voter ID...
Democrats involved in a massive vote scam????
Shirley, you jest.
“Shirley, you jest.”
I never jest. And don’t call me Shirley.

I wonder if there’s a site that lists voter fraud cases? Be interesting to compare the numbers!
It was all worth it! They got the marxist messiah in office! Death penality for voter fraud!
I don’t care which party comits treason against the Republic with voter fraud. Both - any - go to jail forever. Better yet, the death penality for voter fruad.
Does that mean they are no longer bum chums?
Send that to MSNBC. They have been harking on no cases of voter fraud the last few days.
