Ray Adler knows HAMCO is has a growing population of Democrats, many of whom are young parents in the new neighborhoods around Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville and Westfield. If voting was easier, and people didn’t have to work to find out their precinct, especially with all the new precincts, voting trends in HAMCO might shift a bit…and might make it harder for elected Republican officials at all levels to choose their voters.
It’s the Republican way. They’ve fought making voting easier in Marion County for decades.
This is outdated thinking. It’s pretty widely believed that high turnout actually favors Republicans today.
Outdated thinking by Republicans? That’s unpossible!
The opinion is likely a lower information voter would turn out more often. More partisan votes without knowing the candidates. Plus, it’s harder for electioneering for a single candidate when the district is spread out in a central location.
I personally don’t have any problem with knowing where to vote or when to vote. I take the time to adjust my personal or work schedule and make the effort.
HIgher voter turnout favored Republicans because Trump and his coattails brought out the lesser educated, lower income voters who usually wouldn’t bother to vote. In a non-Trump election, which they all will be in the future, this will likely not hold. Or it will likely swing the other way, when lesser educated, lower income voters, especially in rural areas, find out what having Republicans in office means to them. When their medicaid and medicare are reduced, when school funding disappears, libraries close, and their farm employers have trouble exporting their soy beans and corn to the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, back here in Hamilton County…Trump and Vance won by about 12,000 votes out of just under 200,000 cast. I worked as a polling judge, and at our one precinct we sent dozens of folks to other precincts because they came to the wrong place. Did they vote at the proper place? We’ll never know…but imagine if that scene played out all over Hamilton County, and voters could have just gone to the closest voting center and voted. It would have been easier for voters. Easier to figure out where to go, easier to go. Easier to cast your vote.
How much easier can it be? It was not that long ago that you had to vote during the 12 hours on Election Day or vote absentee if approved to do so. Now, there are multiple early voting sites for weeks prior to every election. You can vote at any one of these in Hamilton Co. The voting hours are spread out amongst these places to accommodate everyone. There are even some that have Saturday hours. I believe that the courthouse has this just about every day.
I think this vote center is one of the best things done in this state in regards to making voting easier. It makes it so much easier to vote in Marion county now when you don’t have to go to your assigned precinct and can stop into any boat center you may pass on the way home from work or to work.
And as far as the gentleman saying he wants to wait and see how it works out in Allen county all he has to do is see that it’s working in Marion county since 2019.
Aren’t the line sometimes long in Marion County?
Yes, because Republicans insist on only one early voting center per township. Tell me if that makes sense given the population per township.
Center township 153,549
Wayne 148,444
Washington 138,678
Lawrence 122,321
Perry 121,768
Warren 106,191
Pike 83,030
Franklin 66,271
Decatur 36,951
Hamilton County is usually the home of good government, but this is an exception.
The era of pragmatic Republican leadership is over for Indiana. We’ve moved on to the Kakistocracy era which will have the results you expect when you let the folks who would have been thrown out of the John Birch Society for being “too far out there” be in charge.
Look at even Huston with his waste of our time and money with annexing the dying parts of Illinois. This is the sort of nonsense you’d expect from Morales or Rokita. Wait until Todd explains to them that they will be giving up their legal weed as part of the annexation. That will be the end of that idea.
Always 2 steps behind with Indiana politics.
Adler if talking BS! 32 counties have already done this in Indiana. This is not an “experiment”.
People should be mad at he waste of time and county tax dollars.
Why did this require a unanimous decision? Was that the state lawmakers making this as hard as possible?
According to his profile Adler is a deciple of Micah Beckwith, so who knows who “orders” he is following.
