EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Prosecutors have filed a felony election fraud charge against Vanderburgh County Democratic Party activist Jan Reed, who was accused last month of illegally sending hundreds of absentee ballot applications with instructions leaving voters no choice but to participate in her party's June 2 primary election.

Elections officials said Reed didn't stop sending the illegal mailings even after being warned by them and by the local Democratic Party to stop.

Reed apparently did not cooperate with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office investigation that yielded Monday's probable cause affidavit. The document states, "Janet Reed was contacted and refused to provide an interview regarding her involvement in this case."

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The woman accused of causing around 300 rejected ballot requests in Vanderburgh County has pleaded not guilty.

Janet Reed was in court Wednesday morning.

Election officials say she mailed out ballot requests to voters with the Democratic Party box already checked off.

She does not work for the election office

Reed is charged with “Unauthorized absentee ballots,” which is a level 6 felony.

She faces six months to 2.5 years behind bars and a fine of up to $10,000.
