“A superintendent with the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation was convicted today of vote fraud and attempting to persuade 50th Ward voters to fill out absentee ballots in two elections in 2007, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.
In addition to vote fraud and attempted absentee ballot fraud, Anish Eapen, 39, was convicted of attempted mutilation of election materials for trying to lure voters to use absentee ballots during Chicago elections in February and April 2007.
Eapen’s co-defendant, 36-year-old Armando Ramos, was found to have assisted Eapen’s illegal efforts, and was convicted of the same three charges, the state’s attorney’s office said.”
