I’m nominating them for a Pulitzer tomorrow! They outlined the problems; showed the path (small company selected, financial ties to decision makers in the state); and called the failure. I’m asking them will win Belmont and if that horse will be a “Tripple “Crown” winner…

Voter Registration Database Crashes in Mock Election

Before state election officials could even begin a mock election Friday, the new statewide voter registration database crashed. An I-Team 8 investigation just last month warned of such a crash.




"And what we discovered when we came in this morning was that we couldn't even log onto the system," said Joel Miller, Democratic Marion County voter registration board member.

Nobody in the state could log onto the new statewide voter registration system.

The company hired by the state to build it inadvertently caused a two-hour shutdown for the counties preparing for the mock election.

"We should really be disturbed by the fact that six weeks out from the primary and we don't know if we're going to be able to have this primary and whether we're going to have any confidence in it," said Dan Parker, Indiana Democratic Party chair.
