Deery Secures Ballot in Indiana Senate Race After Supreme Court Recount Ruling

The Indiana Supreme Court ordered that Spencer Deery’s name be printed on the general election ballot for Senate District 23 after overturning a recount commission decision that had thrown out some votes. The ruling, issued Sept. 10 with a full written opinion to follow, allows Deery to proceed to the November race against Democrat David Sanders and independent Joshua Brant. The decision centers on voter-intent and countability of ballots with clerical errors, and comes as Deery pushes for changes to Indiana election law to prevent disenfranchisement in future contests.
