Marion County Election Board investigating Diego Morales (R)
The Marion County Election Board is investigating whether Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales violated election law by using video from an official visit in a campaign ad.
Morales, a Republican, is the state’s top election official. Earlier this month, he released a 5-minute campaign video announcing his plans to run for reelection next year.
The ad features footage of Morales taken during an official visit to the Marion County Election Service Center on Election Day 2024, according to Marion County Election Board Director Patrick Becker. The video was shared on the secretary of state’s Facebook page in a post thanking volunteers, Becker said. In May, that footage was included in a campaign video.
The three-member Marion County Election Board voted Wednesday to investigate whether the ad violates Indiana election law.
