Five people, including the head of the East St. Louis Democratic central committee, were named today in a federal indictment alleging voter fraud in 2004.
The indictment says the five took part in a conspiracy to pay voters for their votes in the Nov. 2, 2004, general election.
Named in the indictment are Charles Powell Jr., head of the city's Democratic committee, along with Jesse Lewis, Sheila Thomas and Kelvin Ellis, Democratic precinct committeemen, and Yvette Johnson, a precinct worker.
Ronald J. Tenpas, U.S. Attorney for southern Illinois, also announced that four people -- Leroy Scott Jr., Lillie Nichols, Terrance Stith and Sandra Stith -- had pleaded guilty to paying voters in the November 2004 general election at the direction of Powell.
Sentencing for those four was set for June 3. Each faces a possible sentence of five years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.
