Ex-Republican Candidate Arrested for Alleged Ballot Theft in Indiana

Larry Savage faces felony and misdemeanor charges after being caught on video taking test ballots during a voting machine trial.

Larry Savage, a former Republican congressional candidate, was charged with stealing ballots during a voting system test in Madison County, Indiana.
Surveillance footage showed Savage pocketing two test ballots, which were later found in his vehicle by police.
Savage claimed innocence, arguing the charges were politically motivated, and insisted he believed the ballots were not real.
Test ballots, although marked as such, can be used in actual elections and are legally required to be destroyed after testing.
The incident adds to concerns over election integrity, with local GOP officials condemning any form of election interference.
