INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana State Police says it’s investigating possible voter registration fraud in nine counties.

The investigation started in August when at least 10 voter registration forms were confirmed to have fraudulent information in Marion and Hendricks counties — which encompass the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

State police said Tuesday in a news release that it served a search warrant for the Indiana Voter Registration Project in downtown Indianapolis.

Investigators say the expanded number of counties leads them to believe there may be hundreds of potentially fraudulent records, which includes real names paired with made up or incorrect addresses and birthdates.

Police say the potential fraud could affect many voters in the November elections.

The investigation now includes Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake and Madison counties.

  1. This sounds very much like one of the ruses Rethugliklans use to “prove” voter fraud is an issue — by committing it!

  2. My first thought as well.

    Since nearly all of the subatomic amounts of “voter fraud” is perpetuated by Republicans, I’m going to strongly suspect this is a rat fucking operation.

  4. If you were going to do voter fraud, organized (good luck with that) or otherwise, you wouldn’t do it in a blood red state like Indiana. You’d do it in a purple state where it might actually affect the result. This is obviously a fishing expedition/smokescreen operation to gin up the crazies about how those people are doing the voter fraud with the cyber in Kenya.
