Important information for the November 5 election. Voting machines may prevent Hoosiers from casting votes in all elections, and you may not even notice!
If you cast a straight-ticket party vote, it will not include votes for any candidates in races where voters are required to vote for multiple candidates, such as the at-large city council races. This is a result of a state law change adopted in 2016. We are also hearing about issues where the ballot structure may cause some candidates for an office to be on a different screen than other candidates for that office.
Why Mistreatment of Immigrants Undermines Our Democracy
While the news continued to be filled with images of immigrant children in cages at the U.S. border, I was with my family at Disney World. Disney World during a heat advisory is by no means the happiest place on earth, but it is hard to conceive the end of the world order while watching people from all over the world buying cotton candy together, united in their shared desire to wear headbands adorned with Mickey Mouse ears while eating mouse-shaped pretzels. Disney World in June in sweltering heat somehow gave an impression of racial, ethnic and religious harmony that stood in stark contrast to what we knew to be happening in Texas.
