Wow, state of Indiana admits their 'voter fraud' might be people trying to correct

their own information in the voter registry.

A day after warning of potential widespread voting fraud, Indiana's secretary of state acknowledged Wednesday that many of the thousands of altered registration records she flagged might just be residents rushing to correct their names or birth dates ahead of the election.

Republican Secretary of State Connie Lawson told The Associated Press she wanted Indiana State Police to investigate to ensure there was no widespread fraud after her office found a heavier than usual number of changes to voter registration records this election cycle.

"It's very possible that because of heightened activity this year that many of those changes are changes that the individual made," Lawson told the AP. "... That should give Indiana voters the comfort that we are vigilant and we are protecting their rights and the elections here are not rigged."
