 The interim study committee on elections approved their final report on Wednesday. Lawmakers made their final recommendation: look into clearing the voter rolls.
One lawmaker is now speaking out about the matter. Democrat Ryan Hatfield serves on the committee, but he feels like the committee didn’t go far enough. One thing left off of the final report was easing absentee voting laws. As it stands right now, Hatfield says Indiana is one of the few states that still requires an excuse when mailing in an absentee ballot.
