Judge orders counties to hold absentee ballots in Indiana Senate primary
A judge has ordered three counties to hold off mailing absentee ballots in an Indiana legislative primary where President Donald Trump has endorsed a challenger to Republican Sen. Greg Goode.
At issue is a dispute over whether one of two women with the last name Wilson who filed to run against Goode in the primary should be removed from the primary ballot because of a 2010 criminal conviction.
Clay County Circuit Court Judge David Thomas issued an order Wednesday directing the county clerks in Vigo, Clay and Sullivan counties to “immediately cease sending, mailing, or otherwise distributing absentee ballots” involving the Republican Senate District 38 race.
Under state law, county election offices must start mailing requested absentee ballots on Monday ahead of the May 5 primary.
