A former Republican congressional candidate was charged with stealing ballots during a test of a voting system in Madison County, Indiana, state police said on Tuesday.
During the test on Oct. 3, which involved four voting machines and 136 candidate ballots marked for testing, officials discovered that two ballots were missing, according to the Indiana State Police.
Surveillance video showed Larry Savage, 51, a precinct committeeman, folding and placing both ballots in his pocket after receiving instructions about the validity of the test ballots, the police said.
A search warrant was issued and Savage’s residence was subsequently searched, police said, adding that officers found the missing ballots in his vehicle.
Every time my state is in the news, I know it will be for something bad.
Stealing two. Two ballots. What was he trying to do? Act like the machines were faulty and thus should not be used?
The orange man is lying to you!!!
they (the GOP) are trying to erode trust in the entire election process, since that’s what they’ve been bleating about for years
“it’s broken and therefore obviously can’t be used to decide the president” it doesn’t matter to them that they are the ones who are breaking it
its “broken” because people aren’t voting for their candidates
If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

Surprise David, they have abandoned both.
“it’s broken and therefore obviously can’t be used to decide the president”
“And only the president. All the downballot seats they won from votes cast on the same process/machines? Those are legit. Only the presidential votes can’t be trusted”
