This doesn't surprise me.

But buried in the article is the state treasurer's call for Morales to *resign*, and later in the article is the detail I've been waiting for - what stirred the pot of his corruption and ineptness to lead for the push for a new candidate and public revocations of endorsements.

His chief of staff was not a legal citizen, and had (illegally) registered to vote. Chief of staff for our state's top election official, who is an election denier which centered on a claim about non citizens voting.

​

Just saw a reference to this, that suggests there is new Morales baggage floating around, and gop figures were scrambling to find someone else to oppose Morales at the GOP convention. I can't find what that baggage is (anyone hear anything?) just that the insiders want him out of the race.

Anyone know anything about the new candidate, Max Engling? beyond what can be inferred from his current job (staffer to Banks)?

For all of the confidence and bluster following the primaries and bringing to heel of the state senators who defied DC demands for redistricting, the same voices seem a bit nervous about the possibility Bayh on the ballot in November.

With an election this close (3 votes), a recount seems normal. But several things highlighted in the article suggest it could get messy. Keep in mind that the candidate works for Micah Beckwith's office - not known for respecting norms or fair practice (per his threats to use state power against entities that are critical of him.)

What jumped out from my read of the article:

The role of Diego Morales, who as Secretary of State should be (or someone from his office) involved in oversight, but who has potential conflict of interest on behalf of one of the candidates. This challenge comes a month or so before the gop convention which will vote to select the Sec of State nominee - Morales vs a challenger.

The reason given for possibly disqualifying votes/voters is the vague language that started floating around who can and can't vote in Indiana open primaries. The challenges could be legit (ex. someone who doesn't live in the district), or get vague per not being "eligible" per party affiliation type reasons, despite there being no status as party registration in Indiana. These will be the reasons used in the legislature to try to "close" our primary system in the future.

Let me state that while I have voted in primaries as long as I have voted, and beyond my local races - outside of close presidential primaries (rare that it's still close by the time our primary happens) - I have never sought to follow the outcomes the same day, like I do for general elections.

Then came this year.

I am interested in the "renegade/retribution" (redistricting) legislative races across the state and the message local voters send through those votes.

I am interested in voter turnout and changes +/- from 2022 (last non presidential/"off year" statewide elections). It was 14% in 2022, and 17% in 2024. Voter stats for Indiana: https://www.in.gov/sos/elections/voter-information/register-to-vote/voter-registration-and-turnout-statistics/

I am interested in the Congressional races and their challengers races across the state.

I used to live in Indy and am guessing the Indystar will be updating results from across the state, but that will be pay -walled. My first Google search landed on PBS which looks pretty good:
