State Sen. Roderick Wright indicted on charges of voter fraud and perjury
The Inglewood Democrat is accused of listing as his residence a home in the district he wanted to represent when his actual home was elsewhere. He has pleaded not guilty. By Jean Merl, Los Angeles Times September 17, 2010
A Los Angeles County grand jury on Thursday unsealed an eight-count felony indictment against state Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood), accusing him of filing a false declaration of candidacy, voter fraud and perjury beginning in 2007, when he changed his voter registration to run for the Legislature.
Wright listed as his residence a home in the district he wanted to represent, but county authorities allege that he did not live there as required by state law.
The indictment also alleges that Wright fraudulently voted in five elections in 2008 and 2009.
If convicted, he faces up to eight years and four months in state prison, the district attorney's office said.
**SNIP**
The Wright indictment marks the second time in less than two months that a local elected official has faced criminal charges over possible residency fraud.
On Aug. 4, Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon and his wife were indicted on 24 felony counts when a criminal grand jury alleged they had committed perjury and voter fraud when they listed their home as being in Panorama City but actually lived outside Alarcon's 7th Council District.
Alarcon and his wife, Flora Montes de Oca, both pleaded not guilty.

A Contributor Perspective: Perjury, Voter Fraud, 18 Counts -- Oh My!
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Council has been dealt another black eye. Seventh District Councilman Richard Alarcon is indicted on 18 counts, including voter fraud and perjury. The deeper issue is a sense of entitlement that L.A. area politicians bring to the table.
Richard Alarcon and Wife Face Indictments
The L.A. Weekly reports that Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon must answer to 18 criminal indictments, including voter fraud and perjury. His wife faces six charges. Grounds for the charges appear trivial: the L.A. democrat allegedly failed to live in his district, which is a requirement for holding office.
