CROWN POINT -- A special Lake County grand jury issued a 20-count indictment today against a Schererville precinct committeeman accused of vote fraud in last year's Democratic primary.
Robert "Bosko" Grkinich, 48, faces 60 years in prison if convicted of illegally handling absentee ballots and assisting voters in casting them in the May 6, 2003, primary in an attempt to help Schererville Town Judge Deborah Riga win another term in office. Riga was cast off the ballot last year after a recount declared her winning margin invalid because of voting fraud.
The former judge hasn't been charged, but Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter and Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter said today their investigation isn't over and a new grand jury could issue more indictments over the Schererville election.
