Judge: Indiana Secretary of State ineligible to hold office
Charlie White is ineligible to serve as Secretary of State and should be replaced by his election opponent, Democrat Vop Osili, a Marion County judge ruled today.
White is facing seven felony charges, including allegations of voter fraud. Osili was the second-highest vote-getter in the November 2010 election.
The ruling by Marion County Judge Louis Rosenberg today overturns a decision by the Indiana Recount Commission in June that White was eligible to hold office. Democrats asked Rosenberg to review the decision because they said the commission didn’t apply the laws correctly.
