INDIANA IOWA Michelle Chandler CONVICTED: 2003 Ineligible Voting and Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots Erin Venessa Leeper CONVICTED: 2016 Ineligible Voting Michelle Chandler, a worker in the city controller’s office, was charged with a fraudulent receipt of ballot, voting outside of her district, and perjury in connection to misconduct during the 2003 East Chicago Democratic mayoral primary. She was found guilty of one count of perjury in a jury trial, a felony, and given one year of probation. Fraud in this 2003 mayoral primary was widespread, and the Indiana Supreme Court ultimately overturned the election results and ordered a special election that resulted in a different winner. Erin Leeper pleaded guilty to perjury after she registered and voted in the 2015 local school board election despite her status as a convicted felon, which rendered her ineligible to vote. She was sentenced to a suspended five year prison term, two years’ probation, and ordered to pay $240 in court costs. A $750 fine was suspended.
