If that was the case, then they all had already committed perjury because they all testified under oath before the Recount Commission to those very same facts. That Commission unanimously agreed that White had not violated the state's election laws.

Perhaps he did not offer a defense because to do so might have placed his ex-wife and current wife in jeoprady of perjury. It is not particularly creditable that he was living with the ex-wife.

Vox, so you think because the police concluded their investigation and didn't go forward, that Charlie White's father must have done the racist and anti-semitic comments himself? Surely you're kidding. People hack accounts all the time and get away with it. Even Charlie White's most fervent enemies don't buy CW's father did the racist, anti-semetic comments.

White is exactly right that when it comes to voter fraud and associated perjury charges, a double standard applies. If you're an unpopular politician who people want out of office, they'll enforce the law. But if it is a popular politician or ex-politician (such as Lugar and Bayh respectively), then the law doesn't apply.

I still don't get why Brizzi and White's legal judgement would have been so far off as to assume they didn't have to present evidence in response to the State's all circumstantial case. The ex-wife's testimony alone would have almost certainly resulted in White's acquittal. There must be more to the story as to why White put on no evidence at all.

Whatever happened to his father's Facebook account getting hacked? Did he finally take responsibility for the racist and anti-semitic comments? I heard the police aren't investigating anymore so I assume he chose not to pursue things.
