Ind. Law - Governor acts on election law bills [Updated]
Governor Daniels has signed one election law bill, HEA 1346, which will permit online voter registration, but vetoed another, SEA 209, which dealt with provisional ballots and voting centers, saying:
While this bill contains provisions that would make the act of voting more convenient, it does not contain sufficient safeguards against fraud and abuse and removes long-standing bipartisan checks and balances in the conduct of elections.The Governor has until tomorrow, May 13th, to act on the remaining bills, including HEA 1491, the St. Joe County judges selection / 6th COA panel bill.
[Update at 4:42 PM] 37 additional bills have been signed, including HEA 1483 - Off-road vehicles, farm wagons, and golf carts. Only about a dozen bills remain.
