ANDERSON, Ind. -- The Madison County Democratic Party chairman was one of two men arrested on vote fraud charges Tuesday.

Thomas Ashley, 70, the county Democratic chairman, and Kyle Barber, 47, are free on $5,000 bond each from the Madison County Jail. Barber was booked on 12 counts of vote fraud and three counts of obstruction of justice, and Ashley was booked on two counts of vote fraud.

Barber was identified as Ashley's son-in-law by WTHR (Channel 13), the Indianapolis Star's news-gathering partner.

The bookings follow a series of voter fraud investigations in Madison County by the FBI and Indiana State Police. In October, a former Madison County firefighter received a 10-day jail sentence for perjury in voting in the wrong location.
