Fox News Spends 32 Seconds On Voter Fraud -- By Republican
If you're really into fighting voter fraud, Fox News is your network. They were so gung-ho about stopping voter fraud across the country that they set up a special e-mail address to collect viewer tips.

So you'd think they'd have wall-to-wall coverage when the top election official in a state was charged with voter fraud himself.

But that hasn't been true in the case of Republican Charlie White, the Secretary of State in Indiana. White was indicted by a grand jury in Indiana's Hamilton County on three counts of voter fraud because he allegedly lied about his address. He's also facing charges of perjury as well as fraud on a financial institution (for lying about his address) and theft (for allegedly keeping his salary as a member of his town council even after he moved out of his designated district).

Fox News hasn't had much on the case (just a brief story on their website) and according to a review of Fox News coverage of the day after the charges came down, this was the only time they mentioned the case as of Friday afternoon. The White case was briefly mentioned on Fox News on Sunday as well.
