Lake Co. GOP fights to close voting offices

Advertisements [?]

HAMMOND (WLS) -- A battle over opening satellite voting offices in northwest Indiana moves to federal court.

A decision by that court could affect turnout in a key swing state in next month's presidential election.

Republicans have argued that the satellite centers in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago are illegal. They say there was no bipartisan vote to approve them.

Democrats argue that this is an effort to hold down voting in democratic areas.

Every time more people get to vote it hurts Republicans.
