Episode Details

Indiana’s political scene is heating up as Greg Ballard, running for secretary of state under the Lincoln Party, faces allegations of fraudulent signatures on his ballot petition. With just over 35,000 signatures collected by mid-June—falling short of the 37,000 needed—Hamilton County Republicans point to a former volunteer who allegedly submitted ten identical signatures with fake addresses. The county election admin confirmed the handwriting match, sparking calls for a police probe and a broader review of Ballard’s petition process. Ballard’s team defended their system, saying they swiftly removed the volunteer and are aiming to exceed the signature threshold to account for potential disqualifications. Election officials note such fraud is rare but taken seriously, urging voters to verify their participation in campaigns.
