State Police Investigate Expanding Voter Fraud Case

Indiana State Police have raided an Indianapolis business as part of an expanding investigation into allegations of fraudulent voter application information in multiple Indiana counties. State police detectives obtained a search warrant that was served yesterday morning for the business offices of the Indiana Voter Registration Project, in downtown Indianapolis. The affidavit and search warrant are sealed for a period of 30 days from the time the warrant was granted, which was October 3rd.

The voter fraud investigation originally involved Hendricks and Marion counties but has since expanded to include Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake and Madison counties.

ISP say the investigation began after they were tipped off by the Hendricks County Clerk's office to inaccuracies in registration forms. State police say an investigation of this nature is complex, time consuming and is expected to continue for several more weeks or months.

There are simple steps people can take now, before the election, to protect their right to vote by ensuring they are properly registered.  Visit indianavoters.in.gov and follow the directions to confirm you are properly registered.
