"The state’s top election official will face seven felony counts, including voter fraud, perjury and theft, a special prosecutor said today.
Secretary of State Charlie White was accused of intentionally voting in the wrong precinct during the May 2010 primary, a potential felony.
White turned himself in at the Hamilton County Jail Thursday afternoon and was released after posting $10,000 bond.
If ultimately convicted of a felony, White would have to give up the position that he won by a wide margin over Democrat Vop Osili in November’s election."

It should be noted in these days of Republican voting rights reforms, that Mr. White was an elected official at the time of the alleged offences, and is still a Republican as Indiana Secretary of State (the state's highest election official.)
Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
