There's a story developing in La Porte County, Indiana. It seems a voter purge in 2011 went rogue. The local GOP successfully purged about 20% of our voters—%16 of them illegally, it seems. Fortunately, they were caught red handed at the last minute, and County scrambles to get eligible voters back in system.
In today's paper, La Porte County Democratic Chair John Jones has called for Federal Investigation of election fraud here.

That's in the normal range.
But, about 16% of our voters were purged incorrectly.
That's about one in every six voters.
Local headlines assure us we'll get back the whole 20%. Our Election Board is REALLY embarrassed that they were alerted to this very problem in February, but failed to correct it.
