Episode Details

A new Indiana law is sparking chaos in Indianapolis Public Schools elections, as two top candidates for District Four—Lindsey Cornett and Chris Bultman—are caught in a legal gray area over party affiliation requirements. Both filed as Democrats, but their past voting records don’t neatly align with the law’s ambiguous wording, leaving election officials stuck between two conflicting interpretations. The Marion County Election Board has postponed decisions to await clearer guidance, risking disqualification under the stricter reading—and potentially leaving the seat without a candidate. With the ballot deadline looming in September, this messy legal standoff could set a precedent for school board elections across the state.
