Invalid Absentee Ballot Applications Which Were Being Circulated.

0

Yesterday, County Clerks and Election Administrators in Indiana received an email from the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office, informing us of some invalid absentee ballot applications which were being circulated.  It is attached and reads as follows:

Dear County Clerks and Election Administrators,

It has come to our attention that invalid absentee ballot applications are circulating. These applications have the instructions removed, voiding the application. If you receive one of these applications, please contact the voter and ask them to fill out a valid application immediately so there is time to remedy the situation.

It is the responsibility of organizations conducting absentee and voter registration campaigns to be familiar with Indiana law. We know there are absentee and voter registration efforts of organized groups not familiar with Indiana rules. This may cause you to get a batch of applications with problems. If you know who the group is, please notify my office so we can get in contact with them and try to correct the issue going forward.

As always, if I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Connie Lawson

Indiana Secretary of State

FOOTNOTE: At the time of the email, the source of the applications was not known.  Later in the day, I learned that one of my employees had actually received one of the applications in the mail and I forwarded a copy to the Secretary of State’s Office.  I have attached the mailing my employee received.  Her name and address have been redacted to protect her identity.  I have also attached a valid application (ABS-MAIL)

So far, the Vanderburgh County Election Office has received 18 of these invalid applications.  We are contacting these voters to let them know there is an issue and mailing a valid application to them.  If a voter has concerns as to whether or not the application they submitted is valid, they may contact the Election Office.  If they have already received a ballot in the mail, then they may assume there was no issue.

 

Cross Country Heads to Louisville for Weekend Slate

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s and women’s cross country teams are back in action Saturday, September 29 at the Greater Louisville Classic in Louisville, Kentucky at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park.

Last year the Eagles men’s team finished second out of nine teams in the silver race led by junior Nathan Hall (Springfield, Missouri) who finished first overall out of 77 competitors while traversing the 8-kilometer course in 25:27.8.

The men’s team will sit its top nine runners for this year’s meet in preparation for the Conference Cross-Over in Romeoville, Illinois on October 6.

On the women’s side, USI finished second in the 2017 silver race led by junior Micalah Booher (Pendleton, Indiana) who finished third just ahead of her teammate, junior Ellie Tjelmeland (Springfield, Illinois) in fourth out of 45 racers on the 5-kilometer course.

USI will compete in the Blue Race division this year with GLVC members Bellarmine, Indianapolis, and Illinois-Springfield. Several Division I teams are also on the line for both squads in Arkansas State, Austin Peay, Marquette, Morehead State, and Western Kentucky. Other notable Division II members in the blue race include Ferris State, Hillsdale, Mercyhurst, and Southwest Baptist.

TAKE NOTE:

  • E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park is the same course that the Eagles will run on for the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships in November
  • Both men’s and women’s squads made no movement in the latest USTFCCA National and Regional polls at ninth and 15th, respectfully, in the nation
  • USI still remains the top-ranked GLVC team in each poll
  • This is the first time this season the USI men will compete on an 8-kilometer course. They will stay at this distance of racing (equates to 4.97 miles) until the GLVC Championships where they’ll transition to a 10-kilometer race for the rest of the postseason
  • This is the last week the women will race a 5-kilometer distance before making the switch to a 6K (3.73 miles) the rest of the season
  • Sophomore Jennifer Comastri (Indianapolis, Indiana) finished first at the Stegemoller Classic going into the weekend

“We are thrilled to partner with SuperFan to offer our students the premier loyalty and fan engagement platform in the industry,” UE Assistant AD for Marketing and Fan Engagement Scott Peace said.  “A huge thank you to Old National Bank for sponsoring our new Purple Reign Rewards Program.”

 

SuperFan is the leading fan loyalty & engagement company in college sports today. It is changing the way your school, team, and alumni association communicate with fans today. Founded in 2011 by two fans themselves, Chris Nowak & Kayla Mount saw schools struggle with attendance at school-wide events, wasting marketing dollars on brand awareness, over-looking potential fans, and an overall lack of fan data.

 

“We know that our partnership with the University of Evansville will yield lots of excitement this year,” says Kayla Mount, Co-Founder and COO of SuperFan. “The fan experience is so important to engaging students, so we look forward to great collaboration with lots of fun outcomes in the near future.”

 

SuperFan was born from necessity to help schools connect with their fans, find out who their fans truly are, engage & reward them, and provide schools with data they never had before to help them market smarter.”

 

Students can download the app for free today on the App Store or Google Play. The first event available for check-in is the men’s soccer match against Butler on October 2 at 6 p.m. To check-in simply, enter the stadium, check-in on the app any time 1 hour prior to kickoff until halftime, and earn points!

AG Curtis Hill opposes efforts to undermine states’ role in protecting students from abuses by student loan servicers

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill – part of a bipartisan coalition of 16 attorneys general – has filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit that challenges the states’ ability to regulate student loan servicers. In that lawsuit, the Student Loan Servicing Alliance sued the District of Columbia to prevent the enforcement of a D.C. law that regulates student loan servicers, asserting that the law is preempted by federal law.

In a sharp reversal of long-standing federal policy, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a “statement of interest” in the lawsuit asserting that student loan servicers’ conduct should be governed exclusively by federal law. The attorneys general coalition emphasizes the critical role historically played by the states in protecting borrowers from servicer misconduct – a role previously acknowledged and welcomed by the federal government.

Indiana borrowers owe approximately $26.71 billion in student loans. These loans are managed by servicers – companies that process loan payments. The coalition’s brief explains that the U.S. Department of Education has failed to effectively regulate student loan servicers and has recently turned a blind eye to servicer misconduct, resulting in widespread abuses of vulnerable borrowers. With no effective federal oversight, states play a critical role in preventing abuse.

“We must remain proactive in protecting Indiana’s legitimate authority and regulatory role across a wide range of subject areas, certainly including addressing abuses by student loan servicers,” Attorney General Hill said. “We see time and again that the individual states more effectively look out for their own citizens’ interests than the federal government.”

The amicus brief filed in Student Loan Servicing Alliance v. Stephen C. Taylor, et al. was signed by a bipartisan coalition of 16 attorneys general. The coalition’s brief explains that, in the absence of effective federal regulation, states have stepped up to protect borrowers. States have brought actions against servicers for a range of fraudulent, unfair and abusive practices, including steering struggling borrowers to less favorable repayment options, such as forbearance (which permits borrowers to temporarily suspend payments) over income-driven repayment plans (which tie monthly payments to income and offer loan forgiveness after a specified number of payments). Servicers steer borrowers to forbearance because enrolling borrowers in forbearance is simpler, and therefore cheaper, for servicers than providing counseling on income-based repayment.

States have also found a range of other misconduct by servicers, including: misapplying payments; charging improper late fees; failing to comply with requirements aimed at protecting active-duty servicemembers; failing to timely and properly process income-driven repayment plan applications; failing to properly process forms required for a teacher grant program, causing some teachers to lose grants; and engaging in harassing debt collection practices. The coalition’s brief argues that preventing states from regulating servicers, as the plaintiffs in this case are trying to do, would lead to dramatically more servicer misconduct and more harm to borrowers.

The coalition’s brief also notes that the federal government’s position in this lawsuit represents a sharp departure from its longstanding view that the states play an important role in regulating student loan servicers. In 2015, the U.S. Department of Education outlined a proposal to improve student loan servicing that included both federal and state law and enforcement by federal and state agencies.  In 2016, the Department of Education issued a memorandum emphasizing that the Department should continue sharing information with state law enforcement agencies to facilitate state regulation of servicers and also formally amended federal regulations to facilitate data-sharing.
