Marion County Election Board opens investigation into ad from Indiana secretary of state
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Marion County Election Board on Wednesday launched an investigation into a campaign ad for Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales, suspecting a potential election law violation.
The investigation was approved during the board’s afternoon meeting. It’ll focus on whether Morales, a Republican, breached Indiana law by using footage from an official visit to the Marion County Election Board Service Center in his campaign ad.
The ad in question includes video of Morales’s visit to the service center on Election Day, which may contravene state law prohibiting government employees from using their office to advocate for an election.
County Clerk Kate Sweeney Bell, a Democrat, has also requested that the video be removed, highlighting the seriousness of the potential violation.
