Braun signs slew of election-related bills that critics say will harm Indiana voters

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has been signing into law a slew of bills changing voting and the administration of elections that passed through the legislature during the 2025 session even though the November 2024 election did not bring any claims of widespread voter fraud or concerns about ballot security.

Nearly 20 voting and election bills were filed in the Indiana Statehouse this year, and while two measures, described by voter rights’ groups as the most egregious, died in the legislature, others that landed on Braun’s desk, the groups say, will limit access to the ballot box. Among the new laws are those that will make school board elections partisan, prohibit students from using their college IDs as proof of identification when voting, require proof of citizenship from some naturalized citizens and allow more poll watchers at voting places.

Julia Vaughn, executive director of Common Cause Indiana, said in 31 years of lobbying for her organization at the Statehouse, she has never seen anything like this year’s flood of election-related bills.

“This is an assault on democracy,” Vaughn said.

My apologies to the few sane people still there. My husband has a niece who was normal but she married this insane magaloon and she is a lost soul with a lot of hate in her heart now.
