 Indiana Democratic Party Head Resigns as Fraud Probe Heats Up

The chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party announced his resignation Monday, as investigators probe allegations of election fraud stemming from the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.
Dan Parker, who served for seven years, did not cite the scandal as a reason for his decision. But the uproar over possible fraud in a race for the White House has already claimed the job of one county Democratic Chairman, who sources say was forced out because of the allegations.
Numerous signatures on petitions that placed then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the party’s primary ballot were allegedly forged and then certified by the St. Joseph County Voter Registration Office in South Bend.
St. Joseph County Prosecutor Mike Dvorak has launched an investigation.
Parker, in a statement, said that “after seven years, it is time for a new leader to embrace our past successes and take up our future challenges.” He also wrote that “I love the Indiana Democratic Party, and it has been my great honor to serve at its Chair.”
