Today's headline in the Northwest Indiana Times: "Dozen more charged in 2003 [East Chicago] elections"
The Lake County Vote Fraud Task Force has filed 56 felony charges against 12 people linked to voter fraud in the 2003 Lake County primary elections, including a former East Chicago councilman, a Lake County sheriff's deputy and an East Chicago city employee.Wow. It's reassuring that officials in other parts of the country take election fraud seriously. As I noted the other day, prosecutors in Ohio filed charges this month against Cuyahoga County officials for violating election laws in 2004. We deserve similar justice here in Washington State especially given that hundreds of unlawfully counted ballots that could well have changed the outcome of the governor's "election" came to light only after the Chelan County trial. But justice will be done only if King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng does his job. Unfortunately, the nominally Republican Maleng seems less interested in prosecuting election crimes that may have been committed by and on behalf of Democrats than he is in pandering to the Democrats so he can run unopposed again.
Today's action brings the total number of people charged for fraud by the Task Force to 34. The total number of felony charges filed is now nearly 160.
