Five felony charges were filed against Walter Sullivan on Wednesday.

27-year-old Sullivan's primary job duty was to register people to vote, but investigators said he was too lazy to do his job.

"The motivation for this $10 an hour job was to act like he was doing something," said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters.

Deters said Sullivan forged signatures, made up information and lied to his employer about doing his job.

"He would act like he was busy and doing his job. I would almost compare it to a kid who had a paper route and decided instead of delivering papers the, he'd dump them in the sewer," said Deters.

The investigation started when board of election workers noticed irregularities in some of the absentee ballot applications. There were incorrect social security numbers and wrong birthdates.

Sullivan worked for FieldWorks, a consulting group hired by Ohio Jobs and Growth.

Deters said at no time during the investigation did they find evidence that Ohio Jobs and Growth was involved or aware of the criminal activity.

Spokesperson for the organization Bob Tenebaum said in a release, "Today's action is a clear indication that the hysterical claims by the so-called 'TruthPAC'   were based on nothing except overheated campaign rhetoric."

During the news conference, Deters said he doesn't think Sullivan intended to commit voter fraud.

"I don't believe there is any way that this guy was going to vote these fraudulent applications. It would've required a lot of work which apparently he wasn't willing to do in the first place," said Deters.

Sullivan could face a maximum of 5 years in prison if he's convicted on all five felony charges.

Deters expects Sullivan to plead guilty after talking to his lawyer about the case.
