Well, folks....
I think I have found a fun battle to fight.
I am an Indiana resident. I live in Michigan City, Indiana. My local polling place is a school.
In Indiana, one must obtain a license to carry, in order to possess a handgun while off of their property. One of the restrictions to this license is that you may not carry on school property.
Secondly, Indiana sets forth certain requirements to vote absentee, either in person or by mail. I do not meet any of the requirements to vote absentee.
Now, the fun question becomes:
How do I exercise my right to vote, without having to give up my right to bear arms?
I currently have placed a call into the County Clerk's office, asking this question. The Clerk replied that she has never had that question, and is seeking info from the State Election Board.
Any suggestions, ideas, precedent from other states?
