I live in Center Township and we received unsolicited mail-in ballots for the last election for people who hadn’t lived or voted in Marion County in many years. Some sort of voter ID is needed to prevent the misuse of a mail in system. Lilly requires ID to enter its properties in Indy. That is OK but requiring a mail in voter to present ID is not?
Do I as say, not as I do.
No unsolicited ballots were mailed anywhere in Indiana. You may have received something that you thought was a ballot but it certainly was not. If you think you received unsolicited ballots, the Marion County Board of Elections would surely want to hear from you.
The issue is accountability. It is both reasonable and wise that all citizens eligible to vote should have a drivers license or state issued I.D. to validate their voting privileges. Identification is required to drive, hunt, fish, board an aircraft, receive medical care (including Lilly pharmaceutical products), purchase alcohol and tobacco, file a tax return, receive a refund, and countless other day-to-day transactions. None of these is more important than ensuring that those lawfully eligible to vote cast a single vote in their district of residence. Voter I.D. is the best requirement to ensure the integrity of elections and mute claims of election fraud. Opponents don’t want this accountability. The large, global corporations oppose this out of self-interest. Their accounting staff has determined the cost to the corporation of allowing their employees time off away from the workplace to vote, in terms of lost productivity. I favor capitalism as the very best economic system ever practiced throughout history, but no system is perfect. Big businesses like Lilly error on the side of corporate greed when they oppose the accountability of common-sense requirements that ensure the integrity of elections. They then deceive the public as to why they oppose such requirements with lame excuses like “This General Assembly is intent on grinding Indiana voters into a state of apathy about our elections so that fewer voters actually participate”. It is the responsibility of each state government to ensure the integrity of elections. That is exactly what the state of Indiana legislature is attempting to accomplish. Lilly should focus on developing, producing and marketing pharmaceutical medications that improve people’s lives …, and stay out of political debates.
No more donations to Republicans from Lilly — got it!
What’s with these “woke” corporations? Focus on running your business and stay out of politics.
Citizens United would like to have a word with you.
I think we should make lots of changes to voting based on Trump’s Big Lie. Trump lies are always the best way to make policy.
Excellent response. Well thought out. Still suffering from TDS.
Is makes absolute perfect sense to require ID to vote and it’s shameful that is still not a requirement.
Corporations are now acting like those on Twitter, making statements and proclamations simply to appeal to the “masses” without actually reading bills or thinking for themselves. It really is quite scary.
Scary indeed, Lance; spot-on.
Republicans are making changes for two reasons:
1) They lost the 2020 presidential election and they feel to win in 2024, their best course of action is to reduce the number of people who vote, as opposed to nominating more likable candidates and adopting better policies. (Recall when the always subtle Donald Trump said out loud, “They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again”)
2) They believe the lie that there was fraud that would have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. There was fraud in the 2020 election … the fraud were the statements made by Donald Trump, even before the election took place, that there was election fraud, that he’s made despite a lack of evidence to the contrary. Trump complained about fraud in the 2016 election, an election HE WON. Subsequent investigation of the 2016 election by Trump uncovered no fraud, and numerous court cases around the 2020 election uncovered … no fraud, and Trump lost every court case, even at the Supreme Court where he had nominated three justices and Republicans have a 6-3 majority.
Them’s the facts.
But it it pretty funny that Republicans fought for years to give corporations more of a voice in politics, culminating in Citizens United … and now they’re upset corporations are speaking out. Can’t have it both ways.
You can’t go to vote without showing your i.d. Get your facts straight.
After this past corrupt so-called election if people don’t step up and tighten the voting laws then all is lost. Clearly, anyone who would not be in favor of Voter ID has another agenda.
You got it, Jeffrey. Spot-on.

Typical response from someone that has no argument based on facts. Resort to name-calling.
