Judge denies Ballard request to force Indiana Election Commission meeting before Election Day
The judge concluded Ballard failed to demonstrate irreparable harm and failed to show he was likely to prevail on the merits of his claims. A Marion County judge has denied a request by secretary of state candidate Greg Ballard to force the Indiana Election Commission to meet before Election Day to consider campaign finance complaints against his opponents. Judge Jennifer Prinz Harrison stated that Ballard failed to demonstrate irreparable harm and failed to show he was likely to prevail on the merits of his claims. The judge found Ballard's argument that a pre-election hearing could affect voter decisions was speculative and noted that the commission already has a scheduled meeting scheduled for Nov. 20. The ruling denies Ballard's request for a preliminary injunction, but the lawsuit remains pending.
