Today, the Indiana Court of Appeals put the final nail in the coffin of the Republican efforts to obstruct early voting access in the Democratic-leaning cities of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago. The court upheld Superior Court Judge Diane Kavadias-Schneider's ruling that the opening of the early voting centers in these three areas violated state law. From the Indianapolis Star:
The court in an unanimous decision upheld a special judge's ruling last week that the satellite in-person absentee voting centers should remain open. The Democrat-controlled Lake County election board had authorized the centers, but Republicans protested.
The Court of Appeals rejected Republican arguments that state law required an unanimous decision by the election board to open the satellite centers.
So that's that. Now, what's going on in Marion County?
