The man accused of orchestrating voter fraud in the town judge race has been handed a subpoena.

Frank Martinez III, a campaign aide to town judge candidate Kenneth Anderson, said Friday he served a subpoena to the wife of Bob "Bosko" Grkinich on Friday morning. Anderson alleges Grkinich strong armed mail-in votes in an east side precinct to throw May's Democratic primary, which was won by incumbent Judge Deborah Riga.

Riga won by 11 votes.

Anderson is contesting the election in Lake County court and has until early August to build his case that voter fraud was rampant enough to warrant a new primary in the Novo Selo subdivision area precinct. Anderson uncovered four mail-in votes from that precinct were in the names of non-residents. A recount commission already has refused to throw the precinct votes out, but Anderson also is appealing that ruling. Anderson is currently working on subpoenaing all 24 absentee voters from the Novo Selo subdivision.
