Ballard Eyes Ballot as Independent

Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, running as the Lincoln Party’s candidate for secretary of state, is on track to hit the ballot after collecting over 52,000 signatures — a major win for a third-party contender.

But with 10 signatures flagged as fraudulent and more potentially under review, his campaign faces a tense verification race. Ballard’s plan? A statewide voter guide to cut through the noise — and win over Indiana’s independent voters who’ve been searching for a real alternative.
