Excerpts from the article i found most poignant. This guy just lies and lies and lies:
“You talking about the ballot the lady told me I could take,” Savage said. “I got the paper you’re talking about. I just rolled it up and put it in my pocket. I wasn’t trying to steal from nobody.”
Savage reportedly began blaming other Madison County officials for this becoming a criminal incident, telling officers that “this is all political bulls**t is all it is.”
When told that the security video did not show Savage ever asking permission to take the ballots, Savage reportedly admitted that he did not. He told officers that he thought he could take the ballots because they were marked “sample.”
“If you got to Payless, or go wherever, it says sample and you usually can take a sample,” Savage said. “So that is the way I took it. I thought they were fake f***ing ballots.”
Court documents detail how text messages found on Savage’s phone show he did, in fact, know that the ballots were not just fake. Furthermore, both stolen ballots were clearly marked “IT IS A CRIME TO FALSIFY THIS BALLOT OR VIOLATE INDIANA ELECTION LAWS.”
