And nary an Acorn in sight.
A jury from Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, deliberated for 13 hours before convicting Republican Secretary of State Charlie White on six felony charges. Among other things, White was accused of lying about his address on voter registration forms.
Indiana law does not allow felons to hold statewide office, and Daniels quickly appointed White's chief deputy, Jerry Bonnet, as interim secretary of state. But the governor said he was holding off on naming a permanent replacement because a judge could reduce the charge to a misdemeanor, allowing White to regain the office.
Lets see, the guy who was convicted of actual voter fraud could still hold an office overseeing elections because he's eligible to hold the office if the charge is reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor? That might make sense if the charge was unrelated to the duties of the office, but this looks like another example of IOKIYAR.
