Indiana’s Election Battles

Voting-rights advocate Julia Vaughn says Indiana’s political class is pouring energy into imagined threats at the ballot box while ignoring the real work of making elections fairer and more competitive. In a follow-up conversation after a federal judge blocked the state’s attempt to use the federal SAVE immigration database to purge alleged non-citizen voters, Vaughn, executive director of Common Cause Indiana, said the ruling is just one skirmish in a much larger fight over how Hoosiers vote and who gets a voice.
