False Registrations<br />

to filling out and signing an application for an absentee ballot in the<br />
name of her former husband without his knowledge in connection with<br />
the 2003 East Chicago Democratic primary. Her brother was a city<br />
council candidate in that election. Griffin-Bronaugh was sentenced<br />
to 18 months of probation. Fraud in this 2003 mayoral primary was<br />
widespread, and the Indiana Supreme Court ultimately overturned the<br />
election results and ordered a special election for the mayoral race that<br />
resulted in a different winner.<br />
