Rokita: Analysis Found Voter Registration Fraud
Secretary of State Todd Rokita says his office has found evidence of “multiple criminal violations, including possible state and federal racketeering laws” in connection with fraudulent voter registration applications filed in Lake County.
Rokita wrote a letter to federal, state and local prosecutors last week asking them to open a criminal investigation into registration applications filed by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Of the 1,438 voter registration applications Rokita’s office investigated, 61 percent had problems such as incomplete data or indications of fraud or forgery. Thirty percent of the applications included information that was obviously incorrect, incomplete or illegible, he said.
