An Indiana Democratic county chairman accused of submitting petitions with hundreds of faked signatures for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary resigned Monday, according to reports.

St. Joseph County Democratic Party Chair Butch Morgan stepped down from his position in light of the scandal, but insisted he had “done nothing wrong,” the South Bend Tribune reported late Monday night. Morgan also resigned as Democratic chair for Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District.

He faces allegations he submitted hundreds of forged signatures - including that of a former governor - on petitions to get Clinton and Obama on the 2008 Indiana primary ballot.

“I regret having to resign and hope no one will misinterpret the reasons for my resignation,” Morgan said in a written statement. “I have done nothing wrong and I look forward to an investigation that will exonerate me of any wrongdoing.”

Thanks for the ping!

Think an Indiana Freeper ping is in order.

As always, if you wish to be removed from my ping list just let me know through FreepMail. If you asked before and was pinged here, please forgive this ping as I lost my updated list. Just request to be removed again. Thanks!

He insists that he did nothing wrong, other than getting caught. Thanks ColdOne.

Rats on the run again. If only we could get one of the big talkers to pick this one up its huge.

I am not a crook!

[Elsie]

AMEN!

[Elsie]

Like SEVERE prison time for anything linked to voting fraud.

I'd be satisfied with reliable ID for potential VOTERS!

...to spend more time with the grandchildren...

This was the buddy of the former IN Speaker of the House, Union McCrooked Face, up there in Southbend. Yes, Pat Bower is from that district and the most Powerful Democrat in Indiana. I wonder if he knew anything about it. It's not like the unions in Southbend have much influence or do anything politically to motivate the outcomes of elections. (Sarcasm)

Before anyone let's the “What's the harm? It wouldn't have affected the election.” crap, let it be known, It is a FELONY and proof of election fraud.

If something as simple as gaining 500 signatures supporting a candidates appearance on the ballot for each district is fraudulent, what other legalities have the taken liberties with?

[Bellflower]

Typical democrat MO. Do tons of crimes and when one individual gets caught have him quit. Dem positions are often like revolving doors. It's much harder to keep track of things with rotating personal. Most likely some other dem group or company will then hire the perp, actually seeing him as a hero.

[Bellflower]

Democrat cheating will be the only reason the 2012 elections will be close. Close or able to win with cheating.

I betcha we would be blown away if we knew how many elections we actually won.

And leftards here in MN keep claiming there is no voter fraud at all and we shouldn’t need ID to vote.

Here in Indiana the leftists swore up and down we have no need for a voter ID law since voter fraud never happens in Indiana. Thankfully the bill passed and Daniels signed it anyway.

[Rappini]

I wish I was as confident as you.

[nascarnation]

Obama will get 42 % of the vote in 2012.

[slapshot]

I reported that Rudy Clay registered EVERY Gary HS student when Dear Leader came in April 2008. What do you think happened with those registrations? Early voting absentee. Mr Rokita was not interested. That is 8K manipulated votes from People’s Republic of Lake Co

Also early voting in East Chicago, Whiting Hammond Gary Lake station was 73% Obot zombies

[slapshot]

The biggest hole in law is as long as you have SSI # you can get absentee ballot. Last bastion of Lake Co creative voting patterns

[slapshot]

At the time Rokit was Indiana Secy of state and now IN 4 rep

Rino is as Rino does. No balls to go after the busloads of 14 yos registering to vote and Commisioner Rudy Clay sheparding them through Dembot controlled Lake Co Govt Center.

Hey Rokita if you are lurking Why was this not addressed?

[MaxMax]

Fraud now, pay later, through a slow system while the fraudulently elected official
does NOT stand up and step aside. <--- 2012...

No ID voting is not the only the path for the RATs.
Early voting is. Vote often.

[hoosiermama]

Indiana has a voter ID law. Unfortunately there was a loop hole in 08. Students at state universities could use their school picture ID. Out of state students voted without being challenged. Think it's been clogged up now.

[enduserindy]

I hear allot about the guy who is accused of fraud to get McCain on the ballot but not much about this one on the MSM.
