ballot in connection to the 2003 East Chicago mayoral Democratic<br />
primary. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation. Fraud in this<br />

live for the 2003 East Chicago mayoral Democratic primary election.<br />
Battle had a history of “crimes of dishonesty,” prompting the judge -<br />
unpersuaded by Battle’s “everybody was doing it” defense - to sentence<br />
him to two years in prison. Fraud in this 2003 mayoral primary was<br />
widespread, and the Indiana Supreme Court ultimately overturned<br />
the election results and ordered a special election that resulted in a<br />
different winner.<br />
