About time this crook was taken down.

Another poster boy for "republican integrity".

13. The wth.com article in the original post was really dumb.

Half of the article was about someone experiencing "flu like symptoms" and it never stated the specific charges. I mean for a local "on the scene" paper they could have done alot better. The Reuter's article was much more informative. What happened to DU's spell checker?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

34. There's a "reporter" and an "editor" that should be fired for that article.

Daniels said in a statement his appointment could be moot if the courts[font color=red] lesson[/font] White's felony to a misdemeanor, allowing White to return to office.

2. Indiana and Wisconsin have quite a bit in common

Hope Scotty can see the writing on the wall. Maybe Scotty will take a plea deal Tuesday, and disappear to the Koch's retirement island for bad puppets.

16. LOL

you forgot Florida, Michigan, AZ, and the rest of gopper governors who are if not accomplished, destroy civil rights, women rights, voter rights, heck people rights, et al.,

3. PROOF THAT WE NEED VOTER ID LAWS!

[Thor_MN]

10. So you presume that he changed his driver's license but not his voter registration?

Had he been required to show an ID, it would have confirmed that he is... himself. I admit I don't know much of the details beyond those in the article, but I fail to see how voter ID would have had any effect in this case. The only possible scenario I can imagine is that he changed the address on his DL >>AND<< the poll worker noticed the different address. Otherwise he is who he clained to be.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. I think it's sarcasm.

[yellowcanine]

20. Sarcasm yes, to ridicule the GOP voter ID nonsense.

[Thor_MN]

21. Ah, that makes much more sense...

[lonestarnot]

15. Good thing you posted that little devil.

[jpak]

4. Crook

yup

[Hotler]

5. Good! Now if we could......

drag some of those fuckers on Wall St. before a jury.

[LittleGirl]

6. Victory!

For the republicans that scream ACORN elected Obama, I can counter with this CON's voter fraud.

Now, off to Jail !

[gopiscrap]

7. Yes get those crooked gopers!

[madokie]

8. Good news gets a rec out of me

too damn many crooks in government for me. I'd say pulling this out of my ass as all polls seem to do, that 68% of the congress critters are crooks.
on edit: I'm not sure I got a rec in or not

[olegramps]

9. I will up you to 98%

[lonestarnot]

11. Election frauder pig!

[JohnnyRingo]

12. He still refuses to step down, and there's a reason..

Even though IN law dictates that he must leave, Republican governor Mitch Daniels is "waiting to appoint a replacement" until he sees if the judge reduces the convictions to misdemeaners.

Of course he isn't going to do this because the violations were so blatent. What Daniels is doing is stalling for time because the judge says he should be replaced by the Democrat he narrowly defeated in 2010. For now Daniels has named the Republican SofS to take his place temporarily.

Mitch Daniels cannot be allowed to pull off this classic GOP bait & switch.

[Indianademocrat91]

19. Although I hate Daniels and White

To say he narrowly defeated the Democrat is very misleading. Indiana elected the scum bag like 60% to 30%, it was a landslide like many Repukes victories were in 2010. Let's just hope Vop will be in the position by the end of the February!

[caraher]

22. Yup

In 2010, Indiana Republicans could have nominated a dirty sock for Secretary of State and the sock still would have carried the state by a 2-1 margin. There was a huge teabagger turnout, and all this stuff about White was *known* before the election. Even the Indy Star, which reliably endorses Republicans, endorsed Vop Osili over White.

Daniels asked White to resign a long time ago, I presume mainly so he could be sure he could hand-pick the new SOS. White is not only in trouble with the law, he's also ticked off his party's leadership by insisting on going down swinging.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. I knew it was 300,000 votes

I just assumed that was close statewide.
Now that I think about it, Indiana probably didn't have more that a few million votes total.

Still, I thought White committed fraud during that very election, and his Democratic opponent should have won.

[WillyT]

17. K & R !!!

:kick:

[SaintPete]

18. So will FOX run with the story

"White cleared on 1 charge of Voter Fraud" ???

[MarkCharles]

23. That's exactly how they will play it !!! n/t

[JNelson6563]

24. lolz So true!

[cstanleytech]

26. That or they will make a small story of someone whos missing national in order to distract

people from this story about White.

[PAMod]

33. Or they'll put his picture and name on the screen with a (D) after his name.

How many times have we seen that one over the years...

[Auggie]

25. Wonder what kind of slap-on-the-wrist he'll get?

[malaise]

27. Looks like ReTHUGS are poster men and women for

voter fraud

[Wait Wut]

28. He must have ties to ACORN.

Wait...what? Oh...he's a Republican. Well, then he's innocent.

[louslobbs]

30. I'm still waiting for the Governor of Wisconsin to be taken down for his lack integrity as well.

Hopefully very soon.

31. K and R nt.

35. Ah, Indiana...

Former Congresscritter John Hostettler tries to board a plane w/a loaded Glock in his bag, Should've been a Felony, plea-bargained down to some bullshit misdemeanor with "community service" so he wouldn't lose his seat in congress. I believe the same thing happened to Rand Paul.

If this had been thee or me, we'd be getting traded back and forth for pack of smokes by now.

What really bothers me about this whole stinking mess is that the majority of Hoosiers are Just Jake with having a convicted criminal as Sec. of State. You see, he's a ReTHUGlican, and it's OK.

Karl Rove said he wanted his "Permanent Majority", and they're sure busting a gut to get it by hook or crook. In White's case, by Crook...

[Vidar]

36. Glad we nabbed one of the SOBs

[brooklynite]

37. In fairness, I think we should apply the Herman Cain defense...

Think of all the crimes he WASN'T convicted of:

- drunk driving
- bank robbery
- drug smuggling
- prostitution
