soapbox

i sent an edited version of this today.
To:
Marion County Election Board
Today I was given a slate card.
I thought about doing a similar one myself. I went into the election board office to ask if there were any rules about what I would have to put on a slate card. In response, I was given a copy of the 2017
campaign literature flyer from the SOS office.

https://www.in.gov/sos/elections/files/2018%20Disclaimer%20Brochure.final.pdf

WHAT does the disclaimer have to state? The language required for the disclaimer depends on who authorized and who paid for the literature or material. The individual, organization, or committee must include the following statement or the equivalent as a disclaimer...

(3) If not authorized or paid for by the candidate, the candidate’s committee or its agents: Paid for by John Doe, Mary Parker and Bill Jones, and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. (4) If a regular party committee distributes a slate card, or sample ballot with three or more candidates listed; campaign materials such as handbills, posters, and brochures to be used by political party volunteers; materials distributed by party volunteers for a get-out-the-vote drive: Paid for by Tecumseh County ABC Party Committee.

The reason for this inquiry is to make sure that what was stated in the brochure is your actual position. You might want to review stewart v taylor, ogden v marendt, and mulholland v marion county election board.

Please respond within 10 days so I have time  to instruct the printer. Thanks, Robbin Stewart.
