Ballard’s Fine and GOP Petition Scrutiny

Greg Ballard, Indiana’s independent secretary of state candidate, just paid a $450 fine for late campaign donation reports — no fight, just taking the hit.

Meanwhile, Democrats have picked Beau Bayh, and Republicans are still choosing their nominee at a convention this Saturday — all leading up to November 3’s election.
