[EL] Breaking: Indiana SOS Removed from Office; More News

[Robbin Stewart]

I'm not confident that this decision will hold up on appeal. But
meanwhile two questions.

Does this mean that as a matter of law the Libertarian candidate came
in second? If so, my understanding of the statutes (which may be
rusty)
is that would have consequences, as far as things like appointing a
co-director of the election commission, and hiring election workers.

Second, Vop was elected to the Indianapolis City Council and will take
office shortly, but he can't hold two offices at once. Does he have to
refrain from taking office on the council? Maybe it depends on how
quickly a stay if any is issued.
