It’s also important to know that the St Joseph county election email address was changed last year without alerting anyone. The clerks office have no access to the publicly available email address for absentee ballot registration, or absentee ballot submission, and have not posted a new one. This means countless people could have submitted an absentee ballot that the clerks office never received. When asked to change the email address posted at a variety of voter registration sites, including the federal voter assistance program that military personnel use, workers in the office claimed that it was not their responsibility. This is a disaster for voters, and we have no way of knowing how many people have been disenfranchised.

Another person submitted a report Tuesday morning on behalf of their husband about the polling place located at IFD Station #3, 1136 Prosepct Street, Indianapolis. They claimed the voting location paused voting while their husband was in line at 7:30 a.m., in an effort to confirm early voting records for people with last names A-M, as no one in N-Z had been allowed to vote yet. The voter added that their husband had been there for about an hour without being checked in.

i was directly involved in this controversy, but at the time i was on the clock for the marion county election board, so i don't want to tell tales out of class.

Electionland said Charles Stewart from the MIT Election Lab points out that the poll worker training book for Indiana states simultaneously that absentee ballots should be counted after polls close, but if not, the precinct election board shouldn't disclose the results.
"There is no indication why a polling site *would have to close* in order to count absentee ballots."This story started as a tip from ProPublica's Electionland project, which monitors voting problems around the country. If you had trouble voting, or if you saw something you want to tell us about, here's how.
Also, make sure to report issues at the polls to 1-866-IN-1-VOTE (1-866-461-8683) or by emailing HAVAAdministrator@sos.in.gov. Or, call the Hoosier Voter Hotline at 1-866-IN-1-VOTE or the Indiana Election Division at 1-800-622-4941 to file a complaint about your polling place's accessibility or to report you were denied the right to vote or possible fraudulent election activities.
