A voter fraud investigation in Indiana has expanded to include nine counties, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported Wednesday. And at the center of the investigation is a voter registration organization backed by a Democrat insider and former Bill Clinton staffer.
Indiana State Police raided the "Indiana Voter Registration Project" in Indianapolis after they received a tip last week that hundreds of records may contain fake names, addresses and dates of birth.
Barry Schust, Allen County’s Republican voter registration board member, said about 1,000 forms from the group were submitted to the local office. About 150 had addresses that weren’t in Allen County, he said, and more than half of the forms “had some form of issue.”
“There’s many that are incomplete or nearly illegible, and a major (concern) is where you write the driver’s license or state ID number or Social Security number,” Schust said.
“There’s an option to check ‘none,’ but it’s a rare occasion to be a citizen and have neither,” he said. But on many of the forms, “none” was checked, he said.
Copies of the group’s forms were turned over to state police Tuesday morning, Schust said.
Also Tuesday morning, state police detectives raided the Indiana Voter Registration Project’s office in Indianapolis and announced that an investigation that began in August had expanded from Hendricks and Marion counties to include Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake and Madison counties, in addition to Allen County.
“The expanded number of counties involved leads investigators to believe that the total number of potentially fraudulent records may be in the hundreds, thus creating a potential to disenfranchise many voters” who thought they were legitimately signing up to vote, a state police news release said.
Victims may not discover the fraud until they go to vote, and that would result in them having to cast a provisional ballot, the news release said.
Investigators said the potentially fraudulent information included a combination of made-up names and addresses, real names with made-up or incorrect addresses, and false dates of births with real names as well as “combinations of all these examples” and, possibly, other irregularities.
Police said that the "changed voter registration forms" could cause legitimate voters to be turned away on election day because their registration won't match who they are or where they live.
The shadowy "dark money group" behind the Indiana Voter Registration Project is Patriot Majority USA, which is run by Craig Varoga.
Patriot Majority, a nonpartisan charitable organization, is not required to disclose its donors. However, the newspaper reported the group is run by Craig Varoga, described as a liberal Democratic strategist and staffer on former President Bill Clinton’s 1996 national campaign who now runs several organizations affiliated with Patriot Majority and funded primarily by labor groups.
Patriot Majority had more than $30 million in contributions in 2014, its last reportable year, with more than $8 million from one undisclosed donor, the newspaper reported.
Varoga told the newspaper that Indiana was chosen for a registration drive because the state had the lowest voter turnout in the nation in the 2014 election.
The state is also in the midst of hotly contested races for governor and the U.S. Senate.
Varoga told the Star the group has turned in about 40,000 registrations, but he declined to say where canvassers were operating.
Varoga accused Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson, who is a Republican, and the state police of waging a politically motivated investigation, the Star reported.
Varoga released this racially charged statement on behalf of the Indiana Voter Registration Project:
“After all is said and done, when this partisan investigation finds no wrongdoing by the organization, Connie Lawson and the Indiana State Police will have prevented 45,000 African Americans from voting in this year’s elections. That is why today we reported their outrageous actions to the Department of Justice.”
The investigation is ongoing and may take several more weeks or months, police said.
According to this glowing Politico profile, Craig Varoga is "credited with the hard-nosed execution of the independent-expenditure campaign" that helped then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) keep his seat in 2010. So we have him to thank for that.
True. And Romney never bothered to follow up on the fraud.
Swift trial followed up by public beheading.
I posted a link to this article on my FB page. One of my FB friends posted this response:
“Apep: As a man getting ready to become a citizen of the U.S as opposed to a legal resident, you have no earthly idea how tempting it is for me to contact the democrats and promise them my vote so I can get signed in as a citizen tomorrow and save myself the cost of the filing fees, the immigration attorneys fees and the legal headaches involved. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I actually did it though, I got where I am now through hard work and honesty, I didn’t come to America to exploit the nation for personal gain, I came to America so that I could pay my own way and earn what I have and I intend to continue doing so. I’m amongst the “deplorable” and if my values are what makes me deplorable then I am proud to be that way.”
I hope this turns up ties to other states and the investigation expands nationally. Maybe we can get some RICO action?
yeah...
...maybe...
......someday...
“Varoga told the newspaper that Indiana was chosen for a registration drive because the state had the lowest voter turnout in the nation in the 2014 election.”
So fraud would have proportionately greater impact there...
National ID is a progressive dream, no thanks.
Later breaking via Indy FOX 59-——
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.– Indiana State Police added 48 additional counties Thursday to an investigation into allegations of fraudulent voter application information in Indiana bringing the total involved counties to 57.
Then we are left with the fraud, with the chance that the right person for the job of president could be denied because one political party is willing to commit fraud?
If you have alternative to this, I would like to know and consider.
But I for one am tired of hearing about the dead, the criminals and the illegals voting in our elections.
are they suggesting that the blacks are all illegals?
Lock him up
Face it folks, we are not going to have a fair election. Our votes no longer count because the cheats have taken it all over.
We are going to be forced into tyranny. It so disgusts me.
Keep going, Indiana.
Other states need to follow suit.
This may be more widespread than commonly believed. Received this by email this morn:

It is about F’ing time!
Cops are Democrat. They are probably dragging along slowly.
Looks like they could use a Zyklon B shower.
“If you have alternative to this, I would like to know and consider.”
Well, you don’t need national IDs to have voter identification. State IDs already follow certain common standards and would work perfectly well for the same purpose. All that is needed is for the Federal courts to get out of the way and stop interfering with the election process.
Well Indiana, go get the crooks. What are you waiting for?
tell him to do it; its long since we fight fire with fire. I say that as a naturalized citizen myself who followed all the rules.
I try not to say obviously illegal things in public forums
It’s obvious the RATS are planning massive voter fraud. There was plenty of fraud in 2012 and they have taken what they learned then and magnified it for 2016.
Trump is going to need sizable percentage voting leads to overcome the fraud. I’m thinking he needs 8-15 real points which the fraud will whittle down to 3-6 points.
We know the polls are soap opera garbage that are RAT driven through overweighting, etc. We must get everyone we know out to vote.
