Full Transcript for Community Connection - November 3 2026 Tina Cosby with Open Lines and Producer Eric G

conversation we had yesterday. I spoke with an attorney. We'll get to that in just a minute. But anyway, 317-480-1310, 317-480-1310. 1310 is the number to the show. And again, the lines are open. So don't y'all wait until I'm telling you the end of the show. And then everybody wants to try to get it. No, you've got an opportunity now. And I know people work, have things to do or whatever. But if you, you know, we, we didn't schedule any guests today on purpose. 00:03:32 Speaker 6: And also you can talk to us on the chat. 00:03:34 Speaker 9: Yep. 00:03:34 Speaker 6: You can talk to us on YouTube or Facebook. You can, uh, Hit us there. Watch us at both places if you'd like. 00:03:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, hit us there. And speaking of hit us there, we got a couple of, we call them liners. A couple of things that we want to share with folks. 00:03:48 Speaker 6: Let me run over there and grab that. 00:03:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to run over there and get that? 00:03:50 Speaker 6: And grab that. 00:03:51 Speaker 2: In the meantime, as we were saying, there's no denying the weather is absolutely perfect. So there's really not any excuse whatsoever in terms of the weather. 00:04:00 Speaker 4: None. 00:04:01 Speaker 2: Because a lot of times we hear people say, Oh, it was too cold or it was too windy or it was raining or couldn't get a ride. 00:04:09 Speaker 6: Couldn't get a ride. 00:04:10 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. None of those factors are in play. 00:04:14 Speaker 6: That's true. 00:04:15 Speaker 2: Right now or today. The polls here in the state of Indiana, County of Marion, which is where we are, opened at 6 a.m. And they will close at 6 p.m. So we're about midway. We're about midway through the day. This is 1 o'clock, so we have until 6. Until 6, the polls close. Just a reminder for you, we have had reports all over the map here and in our surrounding counties that turnout is heavy, steady, light to not a problem. But, I mean, you know, it's just all over the map. There are varying degrees of turnout depending on where you are. We can tell you that if you are in Marion County, and you do plan to vote and you're looking up and seeing this one o'clock, oh, am I gonna have time? If you are near any one of the 182 designated vote centers, you're good to go. You just need to get to someplace quickly. Say, for instance, you're not in your precinct where you usually vote. You can vote wherever. As long as you're registered and have a photo ID, a government-issued photo ID, you're good to go. So the list of 182 vote centers is eight pages long. I've held it up several times, and. 00:05:41 Speaker 2: I just can't read them all. I just would not be able to read them all. But if you go to vote.indy.gov, vote.indy.gov, and put in where you are, you know, either at work or at play, you're at the gym, you're just dropping your child, you're picking your child up from school, you know, wherever you are, put in that zip code and that address, and it

will tell you the nearest vote center. 00:06:05 Speaker 6: How easy is that? 00:06:05 Speaker 2: To your location. It doesn't get any easier than that. 00:06:08 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:06:09 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, these polls here are going to be open until 6. Indiana has a little bit shorter time frame to get the vote in on Election Day, and we'd like to see it longer, but hey, we'll work with what we got. 00:06:21 Speaker 6: We'll take it right now. 00:06:21 Speaker 2: We'll take what we got. 00:06:22 Speaker 6: We'll take it right now. 00:06:23 Speaker 2: So there's that. And, yeah, so, you know, as I said, the phone lines are open. I want to hear about how your election day is going or has gone. Have you already voted? You're about to vote. Let us know. 00:06:37 Speaker 6: You're in line right now. 00:06:38 Speaker 2: They're in line. They're lining up. Or if you're in line right now. 00:06:41 Speaker 6: You could be. 00:06:42 Speaker 2: Some folks do do that. They call from line. 00:06:44 Speaker 11: Some do. 00:06:44 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:06:45 Speaker 2: Hamilton County, long lines. 00:06:46 Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, long lines there. 00:06:47 Speaker 2: Hamilton County just to the north of Carmel. 00:06:49 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:06:50 Speaker 2: You know, those other. 00:06:50 Speaker 6: I think people are voting based on a lot of things. They're based on their wallet, gas prices. There you go. 00:06:58 Speaker 2: I gave him a wallet and a vote sticker, by the way. 00:07:00 Speaker 13: Did you? 00:07:01 Speaker 2: It's a going away party. 00:07:02 Speaker 6: I bet he loved it. 00:07:03 Speaker 3: I bet he loved that. 00:07:04 Speaker 2: He got a kick out of it. 00:07:05 Speaker 6: Gas prices, too. 00:07:06 Speaker 4: All that. 00:07:07 Speaker 6: Food price. All of it. I mean, there are reasons to go, wait a minute. Do I like this? Do we need to make a change? 00:07:12 Speaker 2: That's why I voted on day one. 00:07:15 Speaker 6: You were in there early. 00:07:16 Speaker 2: I was in there early. 00:07:16 Speaker 6: I think I'll follow your lead next time. 00:07:20 Speaker 2: I wanted to do day one, day one, day one. 317-480-1310.

We got until 6 o'clock. 00:08:35 Speaker 6: Until 6 o'clock. 00:08:36 Speaker 12: Yes, ma'am. 00:08:37 Speaker 2: And it is a gorgeous day. 00:08:39 Speaker 8: Yes, a beautiful day. 00:08:40 Speaker 13: I was telling Eric that when I called. 00:08:42 Speaker 8: Beautiful day. No excuses. 00:08:43 Speaker 5: No excuses. 00:08:45 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 00:08:46 Speaker 10: Don't rain on my parade. 00:08:48 Speaker 2: Thank you, Manny. 00:08:53 Speaker 5: I just want to call in and let you know I voted. 00:08:56 Speaker 14: Let's do this. 00:08:57 Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate it. Same to you. Same to you. Thank you. Manny, what a great way to start us off, I tell you. 00:09:04 Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely so. 00:09:04 Speaker 10: A lot of energy. 00:09:05 Speaker 2: We needed that. We needed that. The lines are open. Call us, 317-480-1310. Jeff, how are you? 00:09:11 Speaker 10: How are you doing, Tina and Eric? 00:09:14 Speaker 2: Doing great. Doing great. 00:09:16 Speaker 10: You know, I was watching the news earlier today with these so-called monitors, the guys at Macon. 00:09:24 Speaker 4: Yes. 00:09:25 Speaker 10: And, you know, it's just not a— yeah, we can talk about Lake County and Marion County. 00:09:30 Speaker 8: We know why. 00:09:31 Speaker 10: They're doing— anywhere there's a large amount of black people and Hispanic people, that's where they're going. Why they're not going to Carmel? 00:09:39 Speaker 2: They need to be because that District 5 race with Victoria Sparks and— who' s the other one? But anyway— That congressional district number five race, which it wasn't during redistricting because they ruled that out. They didn't vote that in. But when they had the census and they redrew that area. it might backfire on them. It could. Now, I'm not saying that it will, but it could during the census. 00:10:06 Speaker 10: You know, we're just saying be careful what you wish for. You know, when the Republicans across it were designing a redistricting the voting areas, what do you call them? 00:10:19 Speaker 6:

Redistricting. 00:10:20 Speaker 2: Redistricting, redrawing the masks. 00:10:22 Speaker 10: You know, that could come back to haunt them because people are just voting in mass in a large number. 00:10:31 Speaker 2: But you know what, Jeff? Here's what concerns me a little bit when you've got people voting in mass because people tend to vote as per their habit. You know what I mean? There's some that vote and they don't think about it. It's just a habit. I'm hoping that voters this year, because we have the larger numbers, great weather, all kinds of, I hope they're more intentional about who they're voting for and why, as opposed to just voting out of the habit. You know what I mean? 00:11:00 Speaker 8: Right, okay. 00:11:01 Speaker 10: It makes sense, makes sense. What I'm just saying is that when people say our votes don't count, why are they sending these monitors to black and brown communities? Because they're afraid of you. They're afraid of you. And another thing is, We're up in Michigan with this Abdul El-Sayed, you know, and they're telling him he ought to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood. 00:11:25 Speaker 8: And Hassan Piker. 00:11:27 Speaker 10: Okay, Tina, when are they going to ask some of these white Christian Republicans to denounce the KKK or the Proud Boys? 00:11:34 Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. 00:11:37 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:11:38 Speaker 10: That's what I'm waiting on. You know, actually, this gentleman, he's a Muslim. He's a born, he's a U.S. born citizen. He has every right, like you or I, and you ask him to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood and Hassan Faisal. I'm just waiting for Donald Trump to denounce it. The neo-Nazis and the KKK. 00:11:57 Speaker 2: Oh, he's never done that. Remember how many times, remember how many times along... The road, so to speak, to where he is now that he's been asked to denounce and he never has and he doesn't seem like that. 00:12:07 Speaker 10: Yeah, why don't you denounce David Duke? You didn't know David Duke, but there was an interview where you acknowledged David Duke. 00:12:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, he's a lie. 00:12:15 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we know he's a lie. 00:12:16 Speaker 8: Oh, he's a lie. 00:12:17 Speaker 2: Well, you know. 00:12:20 Speaker 10: I'm just kind of curious. You know, I wanted to go, you know, I voted the other day, matter of fact. My significant other, she's voting today. But I want to go to one of these polls and say, to see these guys with their masks on, with their hoods on, trying to intimidate voters, I'd like to take a picture of them. 00:12:37 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, if somebody's got a picture of that particular description that you put out there, I'd like to see it. So far from what I've been able to read and see this morning, they're not. clothed in anything other than just normal clothing that's what the reports have been inconspicuous yeah inconspicuous yeah and so uh and that the 12 that were assigned to Marion County in Indianapolis that they're going to try to get around to as many polling places as they can good luck with 182 vote centers real good luck uh you know getting around all of those From 6A to 6B, if they can do that. But so far, I haven't gotten or haven't seen any reports of anything out of the ordinary. But we'll keep listening for that, Jeff. That's a good point. We'll keep listening. 00:13:25 Speaker 9: All right. 00:13:26 Speaker 5: But, yeah, so we've. 00:13:30 Speaker 10: Just got to keep our eye on these people. 00:13:31 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. 00:13:34 Speaker 7: Thank you, Jeff. 00:13:34 Speaker 2: And we'll keep the— we will certainly keep that eye out there. But before we get too far in, I wanted to go back to a point that was made during the show yesterday. We had our executive director of Common Cause Indiana, our voter education contributor, Julia Vaughn. And we were talking about employers and employees and the fact that today is 6A to 6P, so some people who work may need time off from work. And I shared that we had depended on on someone here as a resource, actually, it was a couple of folks as a resource, professional resources, that said, yeah, you know, employers are, you know, they are required to let voters, I mean, let employees off to vote. And Julia said, let's back that up because there's no such law in the state of Indiana. And I said, well, this is what we heard on the show. You heard it, I heard it. We've been hearing it for years, actually. You know, when we got to talking about it, we've been hearing it for years. So I spoke with an attorney this morning in depth and we went over the law. We went over the codes and everything else. And the attorney who chose to remain anonymous, but I can tell you as a member of the Indiana bar in good standing is gainfully employed and is a legitimate resource. They just chose not to be identified and didn't want to come on the air, but they did give me the language that I should use to explain the where the conflict was and the confluent. And in short, the attorney was saying, Indiana law doesn't really directly address the issue. And something in the code is a technicality. And then you also have past learned behavior. So here's how that attorney pulled it all together. And I'm going to read it to you because this is how it was explained to me. basically the federal government doesn't have anything to do with it. As we very well know, states run their own elections. So that being the case. So as per the attorney, not Tina, not this is as per the Indiana licensed attorney. While it's true that there is no law in the state of Indiana requiring employers to give employees time off to vote, what is written in the Indiana code is, Remember, Julia asked for that code. 00:16:03 Speaker 14: She did. 00:16:04 Speaker 2: In the Indiana code addressing voting is that employers can't prevent you from going to vote on Election Day. If there is not stated policy regarding

voting at a particular place of employment, the expectation is. is that the employee will go vote either before or after their work schedule ends. So I'm going to repeat that. If there is not stated policy regarding voting at a particular place of employment, the expectation, and she says this is where it gets murky, because you're throwing the word expectation, the expectation is that the employee will go vote either before or after their work schedule ends. Okay, so that's what employers would think that you're going to do. However, According to the attorney, if their ability to vote before or after is not possible, then the employer has to give that employee a reasonable amount of time during that work day to go vote again, according to code, not law. So here we go again. However, if their ability to vote before or after is not possible, then the employer has to give that employee a reasonable amount of time during that workday to go vote, again, according to code. The attorney also pointed out reasonableness is not defined in the code. The attorney went on to say the law does not specify what a reasonable amount of time is. The employer would have to identify such in their employer policy, employee handbook, or something of the like. Again, the Indiana law doesn't directly address the question. Indiana Code, the attorney says, basically leaves that up to the employer. OK, and again, this is on very good authority. Generally, in short, what the attorney said is most employers with reasonable circumstances allow their employees to vote on Election Day. 00:18:08 Speaker 6: Historically, for me, it's been that way. 00:18:09 Speaker 11: Yeah. 00:18:10 Speaker 2: And so what the attorney went on to say is while folks in positions of power generally say it and may have thought that, generally that's been the practice, not the law. It's been the practice, not the law. And she said there may be people, because I was explaining to the attorney that, I got we got our information from reliable resources. We don't we don't peddle stuff on here and deliberately mislead or misinform anybody. 00:18:45 Speaker 6: So they were in studio that day. 00:18:48 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:18:48 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:18:48 Speaker 2: So we got that. But as but the attorney says, as Julia Vaughn pointed out, it is not the law specifically. So Julia was saying there is no law. And the attorney said, that's correct. There is no law. 00:18:59 Speaker 4: But. 00:19:00 Speaker 2: There is a code and there is assumed behavior that has taken place year in and year out. So it can all get mumbled. The attorney said in short, some word salad that can be really complicated to pull apart. So generally it's also unpaid unless otherwise stated. Policy, personal time off to vote and all those other things, employers. Certainly cannot stop you from taking PTO if you want to take PTO to vote. And if the employer wants to make the time that they do give you unpaid, they're not mandated to make it paid, what have you. So Julia's right. The code is murky. 00:19:46 Speaker 6: Word salad. 00:19:47 Speaker 2: Word salad. But the tradition has been such that people automatically assumed that the code covered the law, which it didn't. That's true. So, yeah. And I have to tell you, the attorney spent about an hour parsing this out for me. 00:20:07 Speaker 10: So, the. 00:20:10 Speaker 2: In a way, it's kind of like the honor system, you know, I guess. You know, if your employer wants to be, don't threaten your employer and say you got to give, because it's required by law. 00:20:23 Speaker 6: Right. 00:20:23 Speaker 2: There's no law. 00:20:24 Speaker 6: There's no law. 00:20:25 Speaker 2: But there have been very few instances that we know of where employers aren't very reasonable and flexible and allow their employee, especially if the time that that employee's shift is is during the hours of 6A and 6P, then there is a reasonableness in the code, in the code, if I explain that correctly. You did. 00:20:48 Speaker 6: You did. 00:20:50 Speaker 8: Wow. 00:20:50 Speaker 6: That's a lot. 00:20:51 Speaker 2: It's a lot. 00:20:52 Speaker 6: But it makes sense, as you've explained it. 00:20:54 Speaker 2: It made sense. Because it was just bugging me. Because, again, I don't like to state things that aren't true. 00:20:58 Speaker 6: Exactly. 00:21:00 Speaker 7: And the word salad part, yeah, it seems like a lot of. 00:21:04 Speaker 2: But, you know, the attorney's frustration in trying to explain it, not not frustration with me, but frustration is that Indiana just simply does not address it directly. And yes, Indiana is not one of the 20 plus some states that require employees. Indiana is not one of them. But within the Indiana codes, there are certain provisions that. 00:21:29 Speaker 6: Maybe some leave it alone. Maybe someday they'll rewrite that to be law. 00:21:33 Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah, people vote. 00:21:35 Speaker 6: Voting could change that. 00:21:37 Speaker 2: Voting could change that because you could get somebody in there that could change the law. 00:21:41 Speaker 6: That's true. 00:21:42 Speaker 2: Change the law, just like, you know, trying to amend the Constitution, change the law. There's all kinds of ways to do that. So I hope that that clears that up and hope I didn't confuse anybody. But thank you, Julia, for that. And the code that I sent to Julia, she said that code was misplaced. 00:22:00 Speaker 8: Oh. 00:22:00 Speaker 2: And in the explanation, that was not the proper code that that I found. That code was. 00:22:06 Speaker 5: Wow. 00:22:08 Speaker 2: Thank you, attorney. Unnamed attorney, because, yeah, there's that three one seven four eight zero thirteen ten three one seven four eight zero thirteen ten. It is Election Day across the country. It is Election Day in Indiana from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. 12 hours. How many hours have gone now, Eric? I'm bad at math. 00:22:26 Speaker 6: Oh, we've gone by, where. 00:22:28 Speaker 2:

Are we now? 00:22:29 Speaker 4: 123. 00:22:29 Speaker 2: Six, five. 00:22:30 Speaker 6: About six, seven hours. 00:22:32 Speaker 2: Some hours have passed. 00:22:33 Speaker 6: Somewhere in there. Yeah, some hours. Some hours have passed, yeah. 00:22:35 Speaker 2: And you've got until six. 00:22:36 Speaker 6: Until six tonight. 00:22:37 Speaker 8: Tonight. 00:22:37 Speaker 2: And if you are in line, because there are lines, if you are in line at six o'clock, don't get out of line. 00:22:47 Speaker 6: Stay there. 00:22:47 Speaker 2: Stay right there because you can vote. If you roll up at 602- Turn around. 00:22:53 Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't vote. 00:22:54 Speaker 2: Can't vote. But if you're in line at 559-30, stay right there. Stay there. Stay there. 00:23:04 Speaker 4: 317-480-1310. 00:23:04 Speaker 2: Marvin, go ahead. How are you? 00:23:07 Speaker 5: I'm doing well, Tina. Feeling a little hopeful today. You know, we don't know. And I just want to caution our listeners not to let people say, oh, Marion County voting is only at 21%. Well, you had a great increase of voters that participated in early voting, so I would anticipate our numbers might be a little down, but you still have until 6 o'clock, so don't start getting caught up in the dread. I know that the races can go either way. I would just tell people that I believe the House will change. I'm not 100% sure about the Senate, but we can. 00:23:50 Speaker 5: Maintain some hope. But I would say this, if people sit at home, people don't vote or, you know, the other side out votes, then we get what we get, you know, and I never complained after elections because I do what I'm supposed to do, you know? So in the day, I'm not going to go March nowhere. I'm not going to go to any, I did what I marched to the polls two weeks ago to make my voice heard, but don't start getting called up in the, uh, the media folks, that's what they do. So, you know, we got a lot more votes to go today. You would think voter turnout, higher turnout on election day actually favors Republicans. So, You know, they won't tell you that side of it because they want you to make you think that people aren't voting. And I'm not saying people that just saw one post from somebody that comes in. Oh, Mary County vote. I anticipated it would be a little lower because early voting was a lot higher. So, you know, I would say keep going to vote. remain hopeful. You know, we got some probably long days ahead with Trump trying all the shenanigans to overturn the election. You know, he was not really held accountable for what he did in 2020. He said he's the president and they gave him immunity. So why not try it again? But at the end of the day, I think that the Democrats will do all right, even if we have one house that's a check on this president. And so that's what we need. But I got a feeling that the Democrats will eke out even if things hold a victory in the Senate. But at the end of the day, I would say to the school board candidates that ran, particularly within IPS, you were up against $ 400, 000 or $ 500, 000 being pumped into the reform candidates. And I think they've done a good job. A lot of them have run good campaigns. So don't take your loss as a loss. Take that as a... a step forward that maybe one day we can reclaim our school board elections, whether it's not $ 500, 000 or $ 600, 000. Because I was telling, and I'm going to say the commissioner's name, I went to church with her, Angie Moore. I said, Angie, you know, I was on the fence about you. She's a great, wonderful person. But I've told this to every board member. I said, a charter school board member is not thinking about students in IPS. They're thinking about getting students from IPS to increase their enrollment because one, they probably feel that they're a better option, but then two, they need the students for their operating budget. So the idea that we need candidates that are going to help IPS students leave and go to a charter school because every child in the IPS deserves it. No, it's your job to make IPS the best options for those kids to choose. And so that's always kind of confusing for me, this whole logic that, oh, we have to, yeah, you are thinking about every child within your district, but making sure that IPS is offering a high-quality educational option for families to choose. So there's a lot going on, but, you know, I look, Tina, I've seen people starting to run. They're going to primary some of these Democrats on... the city county council. I've seen some people already announcing their runs. And I think it's a good thing. We need to have people fight for our votes because people will still go. I think the millennials and, uh, I don't know all the letters, team of the Gen Z years and all that. They're not going to be just sold on one party. So you might as well get to a point where you realize you're going to actually have to go out and campaign for people's votes. So I would just say this, maintain hope today that, uh, Things will, you know, go the way that we like them to. We know in the era of Trump, sometimes things go left and we don't understand why. 00:27:40 Speaker 8: You know, we don't understand why. 00:27:41 Speaker 5: But just do your part. So don't start listening to the pundits and sitting at home. Well, you know, I'm not going to. Nothing's going to change. Get off your behind if you register to vote, because if you're not registered to vote. You can't do it today. But if you are registered to vote, go vote and vote your conscience. I'm not saying go vote for Democrats. If you believe that President Trump is doing a great job and you want to go and support this administration, I'm not hating on anybody because that's the one thing I love about being in America. Tina, we can make our own choices. But I wish all the candidates out there good luck today. Voters, keep your head held high. Do your part. At the end of the day, Realize this is what I've done in every

election. They didn't go the way that I wanted to go. Starting with Al Gore, which was the first election I ever voted in. Once you do your part, you can hold your head up high and say, I did my part. So I'm hopeful today that we will have a check on an out-of-control president. And that's what I want. I want to check on an out-of-control president. president. And I'm hopeful that we will get that today. We saw and seen in my last comment with what Haley Stevens, she even looks like a sore loser. And I'm not going to demean somebody's physical attributes, but she just looked pitiful. And I don't think that's going to work up in Michigan. I mean, if she really looked like a sore loser, I'm not hating on anybody that has a conscience and said, why I can't in conscience and good conscience vote for this person. But it was clearly not that. I mean, she even said, oh, they disinvited me from this event. So she went over to the Marvin Wyman's church, who is always in the news to me for the wrong reason, and sat there and looked like a complete idiot with a congressman, whatever his marshal, whatever his name is. So I just wish all the candidates good luck today. The one that I'm really hopeful for here locally is that Bobai will win because I believe if he wins, he's on track to one day be our governor and probably will be the next Democratic governor of the state of Indiana. So there's some things we can look forward to. But if tomorrow morning, like we did in 2024, we wake up and things didn't go our way and you did your part, don't give up hope on our election system. Just keep moving. 00:30:04 Speaker 2: Keep it moving. 00:30:05 Speaker 10: Indeed. 00:30:06 Speaker 2: Thank you, Marvin. And yeah, you're not the first person. So many people. have speculated that Bayh is on the same path that his father was on. 00:30:15 Speaker 6: Many have. 00:30:16 Speaker 12: Very many. 00:30:17 Speaker 2: His father entered the political scene as the Secretary of State, was the Secretary of State for two years, and then went on to become the governor of the state of Indiana for a couple of terms. And even the same age, even around. 00:30:33 Speaker 6: The same age. Around the same age. Isn't that something? 00:30:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's no doubt in my mind. that that is a fair assessment of what it looks like. Now, it may not happen that way, but, man, it's kind of eerie to think that it won't. 00:30:49 Speaker 3: That's true. 00:30:50 Speaker 2: That's why the Republicans fought so hard to get Diego Morales out of there and get somebody in because they knew down the road that if he gets in one office, he could very well compete and compete very well for the governorship. So let's go back to the phone lines. Denise, go ahead. 00:31:08 Speaker 6: How are you? 00:31:10 Speaker 3: Hey, Tina. 00:31:11 Speaker 15: How you guys doing? 00:31:12 Speaker 2: Doing well. 00:31:13 Speaker 5: How are you? Good. 00:31:14 Speaker 8: I just wanted to call and tell you that I didn't do the same location that I normally do. 00:31:20 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:31:21 Speaker 8: Because of time constraint. But it was a little uncomfortable going in there because I didn't see anybody that looked like me. And there was so many elderly that was there, but that was an okay part. I just would have preferred to see somebody look like me. But I didn't vote. I'm a straight-ticket woman if I do the research on the Democrats. So Birch Bayh's son, Beau Bayh, he's a supporter of the laborers, the unions. And that's what sold me over. But the guy that's already in there, Secretary, I don't know why they're trying to play Bobad like he's too young, too inexperienced. You don't have to be too experienced not to steal. 00:32:14 Speaker 4: Just don't steal. Oh. 00:32:19 Speaker 8: And then let me tell you, Ross Mears. I'm so glad that he's running again. 00:32:25 Speaker 2: They're talking about Diego Morales, the incumbent Secretary of State who... certainly pushes the limits. 00:32:32 Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely. 00:32:34 Speaker 2: Pushes the limits. 00:32:36 Speaker 8: Bow-bye he has this. He came to our union convention, and what a good-looking young man. I just hope they don't put a woman in there to trick him or to make him look like Donald Trump. in a Democratic position or something like that. Because, you know, they do have those people that they can stick in there when they're doing great. And then Ron Mears, the young man that's running against him. 00:33:06 Speaker 2: Oh, prosecutor, Ryan Mears, okay. 00:33:08 Speaker 8: Ryan Mears, yes. The young man that's running against him. I don't know if you know anything about him, but he only did one case. Okay, so we can move on. Ron Mears got this. So then we could go to all the judges. Tina, I'm disappointed in myself that I did not look up all the judges to retain, but I did get Gardner. I think that was his name. There was another one with an R, but I didn't see his name there. 00:33:37 Speaker 2: Are you talking about Judge Jeffrey Gaither? 00:33:39 Speaker 8: Yes, yes. 00:33:41 Speaker 2: Jeffrey, yeah, and his name is spelled G-E-O-F-F-R-E. It's an English spelling of Jeffrey. G-E-O-F-F-R-E-Y. Jeffrey Gaither. Judge Gaither. 00:33:52 Speaker 14: Yes. 00:33:53 Speaker 8: That's the only thing that I am sad about that I didn't do with my research because he needs some help. He needs someone in there that's going to do the right thing and back the right thing according to the law. That's what I like about Rod Mears. You know, we have marijuana in our neighborhood, but there's cocaine and other stuff in the white neighborhood. So they have the... opioids and they have the money to help them get treatment. But over in our neighborhood, Ron Mears is a people prosecutor. He's a people prosecutor and they're trying to make it seem like he's light on crime. No, he's practical. He knows this is a disparity of treatment when it comes to drugs, marijuana versus cocaine. So he's real

realistic. And then let me go to, um, All of them are laborer supporters. They support the unions. We have unions here in Indianapolis. We have unions in Indiana. And when you can find a person that supports the laborers, we know that we can keep this moving. We know we're going to gain it. We're going to gain this. I'm just pretty excited. But I don't think I'll return to that Presbyterian church. I didn't feel too comfortable. It needs to be a little bit more color up in there. Asian, Hispanic, African-American. 00:35:22 Speaker 2: Where was this again? Is the Presbyterian Church where? 00:35:26 Speaker 3: It's in Broad Ripple. 00:35:29 Speaker 2: Oh, in Broad Ripple. 00:35:29 Speaker 8: It's in Broad Ripple. But the thing about it is that there's not a. 00:35:33 Speaker 12: Lot of people voting there. 00:35:35 Speaker 8: So you can just walk in, Tina, vote, and take your time, and just walk out. And then you have the older, the elderly there, you always have a white man sitting there that want to double-check your. 00:35:50 Speaker 8: He's not wearing his glasses or if there is something missing off of it. But I'm going to tell you, this older white lady took my ID out of his hand, put it up on that thing. It popped up my name and everything popped up. And she said, is everything correct? 00:36:09 Speaker 11: Is everything current? 00:36:10 Speaker 8: I said, yes, it is. Next thing I knew, I was over in a chair sitting down voting. But if I had waited on him trying to be Dr. Gadget or whatever that he was trying to do, and then you have all these white people around you and nobody's smiling, nobody's saying happy voting day, nobody's saying, you know what, America is great. We going back to this or that. Listen, it was uncomfortable. I'm not going back, but I'm so happy that you kept us informed. You guys kept us informed from day one. 00:36:43 Speaker 2: We tried. But, Denise, here's the other part. Did you get your I voted sticker? 00:36:49 Speaker 3: Yes, of course. 00:36:50 Speaker 2: Okay, well, at least they gave you the sticker. There we go. 00:36:53 Speaker 6: We got the sticker. 00:36:54 Speaker 2: That's the biggest part. That's one of the biggest parts for me. 00:36:58 Speaker 12: I had to ask, where is it? 00:37:01 Speaker 2: Oh, you had to ask for it. 00:37:03 Speaker 8: Uh-oh. 00:37:03 Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. 00:37:04 Speaker 8: I had to ask for it. 00:37:05 Speaker 1: Wow. 00:37:06 Speaker 2: Just the Hoosier hospitality was not rolled out. Didn't seem to be rolled out. 00:37:10 Speaker 8: Believe me, I won't be back, but I will forever be a voter. 00:37:19 Speaker 2: All right. Thank you, Denise. What a call. 00:37:22 Speaker 6: That's an experience. 00:37:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got my sticker, but I had to. 00:37:28 Speaker 6: Ask for the sticker. They wouldn't just give it to her. 00:37:30 Speaker 2: That's I'd ask for two. They gave me a handful down at the city county. 00:37:34 Speaker 6: I didn't have any trouble getting mine. 00:37:35 Speaker 2: No, I had several. In fact, that was one of the stickers I gave to Dion. With the wallet I gave him at his going away party. 00:37:42 Speaker 6: And so you voted early, early, early. 00:37:44 Speaker 2: Early, early. The first day, 4.05 p.m., I do believe, was when I hit the door. 00:37:49 Speaker 6: Next time, I'm going to do that. 00:37:50 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:37:51 Speaker 2: And what she was talking about, just in case you didn't, you know, for clarification, because I think we have to say this and be fair about it. Prosecutor, current prosecutor, Ryan Mears, has long had a standing policy that he will not prosecute low-level marijuana possession or low-level marijuana crimes for reasons that he has outlined a number of times, you know, tying up the court system, tying up the jails and things of that nature for low level. It's not that he doesn't prosecute drug crimes. And I think that that's what Denise was trying to say. I'm not saying this to persuade you one way or another. I just wanted to clarify the point because I don't think that was made. And as far as Diego Morales, the current Indiana Secretary of State, by the way, is believed that he is the one who sent those voter lists that read, you know, the Indiana voter list to the Trump administration because that's how they figured out that the majority of minority and people of color voters are in Marion County here in the center of the state and in Lake County up there around Chicago. So Diego did that, but he has also been under investigation for a number of things that could be considered, let me put it this way, suspicion of corruption and ghost employment, all kinds of stuff that Diego has been accused of but not convicted of. So we'll leave that alone, too. 317-480-1310, 317-480-1310. We're going to take a quick break right here and be back with more Community Connection right after this. 00:39:54 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the conversation. It's Community Connection with Tina Cosby from the Praise Indie Indigo Studios on Praise AM 1310, 95.1 FM. 00:40:06 Speaker 2: And we're back with Community Connection. Tina Cosby here with our producer, Eric Garns. Eric, we've got... We've got some telling— well, actually, you brought it to my attention. You found it. Telling numbers on early voting in Marion and Hamilton counties. Hamilton counties. You're entitled to that. Yeah, we're going to get to some of that, too. But right now, on this election day, we are hearing from you, the voters. 00:40:29 Speaker 5: 317-480-1310. 00:40:29 Speaker 12: 317-480-1310. 00:40:29 Speaker 2: I am excited. I am always so excited. Can't wait to get home and— you know, get something good to sit in front. 00:40:42 Speaker 6: Of the, check out the returns as they come in, check out their returns. 00:40:45 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:40:46 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:40:46 Speaker 2: I remember so many years. 00:40:48 Speaker 6: Uh, I was at the, you were there. 00:40:51 Speaker 2: Yeah.

And it's, it's different. And we've done it here before and we, you know, I'm not to say that we won't do it again. This is a midterm, so hard to tell. But, uh, this year, uh, this particular election cycle, uh, you know, we're, uh, we're just gonna, we're, we're gonna see how it goes. But, um, Yeah, just excited to go home and see what else. 00:41:10 Speaker 6: We have popcorn or we have dinner when you're watching. 00:41:13 Speaker 2: When I'm watching? 00:41:14 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:41:16 Speaker 2: I don't know. Finger food. 00:41:17 Speaker 6: Finger food, okay. 00:41:17 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to, you know, you're excited. It's hard to really eat. 00:41:20 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're excited. 00:41:22 Speaker 2: You won't have a full meal at that time. Yeah, indeed. Makes sense. 00:41:26 Speaker 4: 317-480-1310. 00:41:26 Speaker 2: Former Counselor Duke Oliver, William Duke Oliver, how are you? 00:41:29 Speaker 14: Is this Duke ahead? 00:41:31 Speaker 12: Yeah. 00:41:31 Speaker 14: I'm down here. at Country Kitchen with a whole bunch of exciting people. And one of your favorite persons is always Tina Cobb. We want to hear about today's results. What's going on? Good afternoon, Tina. 00:41:44 Speaker 2: Oh, Miss Cordelia. Yes, yes, yes. Let's give Miss Cordelia a round of applause. First of all, first of all, Miss Cordelia is following doctor's orders. She's not out planting anything. She's not out raking leaves. She is, she's out there just, behaving herself and having a good time at the same time. 00:42:06 Speaker 12: Ms. 00:42:07 Speaker 2: Cordelia, how are you doing? 00:42:09 Speaker 4: I'm doing okay. 00:42:10 Speaker 3: I met Boba as I was getting out of the car. Boba came over and gave me a hug. 00:42:17 Speaker 4: As he was leaving, going to another polling place. 00:42:20 Speaker 3: And his dad was here. I met his dad's girlfriend last night. And he came up and told me, he said, Miss C, I want you to meet my girlfriend. And I looked at her and I said, hello, how are you? 00:42:37 Speaker 4: And he said, her name is Susan. And I said, she's. 00:42:40 Speaker 2: Got a long hair. Oh, a little close to home, isn't it? 00:42:46 Speaker 3: He deserves a new mate. 00:42:48 Speaker 2: Yeah, his first wife, Susan, was a visitor. 00:42:51 Speaker 3: As I was coming into the restaurant, he was leaving as well. 00:42:54 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:42:56 Speaker 3: The congressman has fed everybody here at Country Kitchen this afternoon. 00:43:01 Speaker 2: All righty. Well, what are you thinking, Ms. Cordelia? What's it looking like? I mean, how are you feeling? What do you think? 00:43:07 Speaker 3: Well, politically, I feel nothing because my mentor in politics, I might have said it last week, was Bonetta Sloss Tanner. And Bonetta always said, pay no attention to the polls. 00:43:23 Speaker 4: You wait till the fat lady sings. And I said, well, when. 00:43:27 Speaker 3: Will she sing? 00:43:28 Speaker 8: She said, at. 00:43:29 Speaker 3: 10 o'clock on

election night when we have won. So I will be at my house with a bottle of wine waiting. 00:43:38 Speaker 4: For the fat lady to sing. 00:43:40 Speaker 12: Okay. 00:43:41 Speaker 2: Now, do you think it will be that late, or do you think we'll get an early indicator, you know, a few hours before? 00:43:47 Speaker 3: I think we will. I am rooting for her. because I sent some money and because they're good candidates for Governor Cooper of North Carolina to become senator. And he sent me a handwritten thank you note for the money that I sent to him. And for Tello, whoever's name is down in Texas, I was waiting for him. 00:44:10 Speaker 2: Oh, Tello Rico. Yes, Tello Rico. 00:44:12 Speaker 8: Tello Rico, yes. 00:44:14 Speaker 2: Oh, so you sent money to his campaign as well. 00:44:17 Speaker 3: And for Ohio... Senator Edmunds, he lost, but he's running again. And the man who signs my paycheck and my pension, he's over there in Ohio working for Senator Brown as well. 00:44:35 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay. 00:44:37 Speaker 4: Those are the three that I will be watching for tonight. 00:44:41 Speaker 2: Are you going to call any upsets, do you think? 00:44:44 Speaker 4: No, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. 00:44:48 Speaker 10: We've got so many other candidates in support. 00:44:51 Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you, I have selected my two candidates for president and vice president next year. 00:44:58 Speaker 2: For the Democrats? 00:44:59 Speaker 4: Yes. 00:45:00 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're a Democrat. 00:45:02 Speaker 3: Governor Brashear out of Kentucky. And Senator, what is his name from Arizona? 00:45:08 Speaker 4: The astronaut. 00:45:10 Speaker 3: Oh, Kelly. 00:45:11 Speaker 6: Kelly, yes. 00:45:12 Speaker 8: Kelly. Is it Scott Kelly? 00:45:13 Speaker 3: Mark Kelly. 00:45:15 Speaker 4: For president and vice president. 00:45:17 Speaker 2: So you're saying Andy Brashear. 00:45:20 Speaker 13: Yes. 00:45:21 Speaker 2: For president. 00:45:22 Speaker 8: And Mark Kelly. 00:45:23 Speaker 2: And Mark Kelly, VP. 00:45:25 Speaker 14: Yes. 00:45:25 Speaker 4: Yes. 00:45:26 Speaker 2: That's an interesting ticket, Ms. Cordelia. 00:45:28 Speaker 8: Those are my selections. 00:45:30 Speaker 2: You want to elaborate a little as to why you think those two will emerge from the pack? 00:45:35 Speaker 3: Well, one thing, I'm glad that they live on each side of the country. 00:45:40 Speaker 5: Okay. 00:45:42 Speaker 4: The other thing, they're very smart. And Dan Parker. 00:45:48 Speaker 3: Who lived, you know, Dan Parker was former vice chair of the Indiana Democratic Party. He went over and worked in. 00:45:54 Speaker 4: Beshear's campaign when he ran for governor. Mm-hmm. 00:45:58 Speaker 3: So I got to know Governor Beshear very well. 00:46:02 Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. 00:46:03 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:46:05 Speaker 8: Okay. 00:46:05 Speaker 2: Well, that's it. 00:46:09 Speaker 8: Tina? 00:46:09 Speaker 2: Yes? 00:46:11 Speaker 14: There's so many down here in support of the atmosphere in the city of Indianapolis right now. 00:46:25 Speaker 2: I'm not touching that one. I'm not touching that one. Go ahead. 00:46:28 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:46:29 Speaker 2: Well, thank you. Thank you very much for calling in. Thank you, Ms. Cordelia. And we're going to check in with all of you all sometime in the coming days, right after everything has been posted. 00:46:39 Speaker 12: All right. 00:46:42 Speaker 3: Thank you. 00:46:43 Speaker 12: All right. 00:46:43 Speaker 2: Thank you much. Appreciate it. Thank you, Counselor Oliver. 00:46:46 Speaker 14: Encouraging the voters to increase their voter turnout. Thank you so much for taking this call, Tina. 00:46:52 Speaker 2: All righty. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. 00:46:55 Speaker 10: Thank you. 00:46:56 Speaker 2: And I'm going to, you know what, Eric, I'm going to keep Ms. Cordelia's projection because that's an interesting combination. 00:47:03 Speaker 9: That is. 00:47:04 Speaker 2: I never would have put those two together. But that's how she sees it. She said she wasn't going to predict anything. Remember, she did. 00:47:12 Speaker 6: She changed her mind. 00:47:13 Speaker 2: Well, actually, in all fairness, she was talking about in this particular election. 00:47:17 Speaker 6: And this one. 00:47:18 Speaker 4: OK. 00:47:18 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:47:19 Speaker 2: She's talking about for 2028. She sees Kentucky Governor Democrat Andy Beshear. 00:47:24 Speaker 4: Sheer. 00:47:25 Speaker 2: And for president. And on the Democratic ticket, because Ms. Cordelia will let you know in no uncertain terms, she's Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. 00:47:33 Speaker 6: She says that many times. 00:47:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then, like she says, on the other end of the country, in Arizona, a former astronaut, Mark Kelly. 00:47:42 Speaker 6: Mark Kelly. 00:47:43 Speaker 2: As the vice president. So interesting, interesting, interesting. 00:47:47 Speaker 1: Hmm. 00:47:48 Speaker 2: Neither one are very big, uh, uh, uh. In terms of Electoral College. 00:47:56 Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. 00:47:57 Speaker 6: Electoral College. 00:47:59 Speaker 2: Votes and numbers. 00:48:00 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:48:01 Speaker 2: That they would deliver. Arizona, Kentucky. I mean, they're not huge. 00:48:06 Speaker 4: Right. 00:48:07 Speaker 2: Not like if a Gavin Newsom. 00:48:09 Speaker 6: Yeah, Gavin. 00:48:09 Speaker 2: Or somebody, you know, great. 00:48:11 Speaker 5: Anyway. 00:48:12 Speaker 6: I like my thoughts on that Electoral College. 00:48:14 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that another time. I'm just saying a lot of times that's pretty strategic. 00:48:19 Speaker 6: It is, yeah. 00:48:19 Speaker 2: What they do, number of electoral college votes that the candidate will assure. I didn't see Josh Shapiro in there. But anyway, this is Ms. Cordelia, so I'm going to keep it. 00:48:32 Speaker 6: Hang on to that. 00:48:33 Speaker 2: Hang on to that. So, Erica, the early voting in Indianapolis, Marion

County, and then Hamilton County, Carmel, Westfield, you know, all of those, Boone, not Boone, Boone County is another one, but basically Marion and Hamilton Counties. 00:48:48 Speaker 7: Yeah, Marion County election officials said they accounted about 86,000 early in-person ballots, which is a record for midterm elections. 00:48:56 Speaker 2: This is in Marion County? 00:48:57 Speaker 7: That was Marion County. They said roughly 300 people were still in line to vote when early voting ended yesterday at noon. And that's a lot of people, a lot of people. In Hamilton County, they counted roughly 70,000 in-person early ballots, nearly double the 40,000 cast in 2022, Yeah. Approaching 98,000 cast in 2024. 00:49:21 Speaker 6: Wow. So people are voting. 00:49:24 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:49:24 Speaker 6: They're out there. 00:49:25 Speaker 2: You know, when she was here in studio, Marin County Clerk Kate Sweeney-Bell was talking about, you know, the numbers had more than doubled from that particular time from four years ago in 2022. 00:49:36 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:49:37 Speaker 2: And she said, Tina, I think we're going to get to 50,000 at just at that. 00:49:42 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:49:43 Speaker 3: Right. 00:49:44 Speaker 2: And I'm like, what? She said, oh, yeah. She said easily. So I suspect and that was yesterday. And these are yesterday's numbers. So I'm sure that they've been tallied in a different way. So but yeah. 00:49:57 Speaker 6: Someone from the clerk's office also said here in Marion County. This is yesterday. They're coming out in droves, standing in line with cold and drizzle. They came out anyway. to vote and waiting no one was complaining they say. 00:50:11 Speaker 2: Well yesterday was more drizzled it was. 00:50:12 Speaker 7: Drizzly a totally different day today nothing but sunshine can't get any better good reason. 00:50:17 Speaker 2: To vote yeah uh that's it that says that voters have something to say spokesperson dan goldblatt of the marion county clerk's office said uh they're coming out in droves yeah like you said in droves um Hey, keep it coming. 00:50:30 Speaker 6: Keep it coming. 00:50:31 Speaker 2: Keep it coming. 00:50:32 Speaker 6: We got heavy today. 00:50:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got several here on the on the line and we're going to get to you. We don't want to go to you right now because we're up against a break. So let's get this break out of the way. Then we'll go directly back to the phone lines right after these messages. 00:50:52 Speaker 1: WTLC AM, W236 CR Indianapolis. Broadcasting from the Praise Indy Indigo Studios. Discussing the issues that matter to you. It's Community Connection with Tina Cosby on Praise AM 1310, 95.1 FM. 00:51:09 Speaker 2: And we're back with Community Connections. Some folks are chatting. Some folks are chatting on our YouTube chat line. To all who have voted and to all who are still going to vote, that was a clap. So there we go. 00:51:22 Speaker 6: Let's bring out that. Let's do that. 00:51:25 Speaker 2: I voted at 8 a.m. at the historic Crispus Attucks High School and submitted Mama's. 97, I'm assuming her mother's 97, absentee ballot as well. Great for you. 00:51:34 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes. 00:51:36 Speaker 2: LOL, I think they were listening to Denise. She is funny. She is the one at the family picnic. I bet you she was at the family picnic. Watching tonight, MSNOW and CNN. Going to be a long night for me, Tina, and Fox to see them crying. Okay. There's a projection. We live in Hamilton County, Fishers. It was good seeing all the Democrats running there. So that's just a few of the comments on our chat line. right now, and we have several folks on our phone line, so we're going to get back and do this. We left the show open for this on Election Day. We didn't schedule anybody because it's your day. You are the voter, so we want to hear from you. 317-480-1310. 317-480-1310. Let's go to Hazel. Hazel, how are you? 00:52:27 Speaker 14: I'm wonderful. 00:52:28 Speaker 3: Listen, I voted today, and I think it's so important for us to get out and vote because. 00:52:34 Speaker 16: The way our legislation has passed bills, I don't know if y'all know about that levelized billing that AES is doing now because they passed a bill that anybody that's ever been on. 00:52:46 Speaker 3: Energy assistance, they have to pay that money back. 00:52:49 Speaker 2: What? 00:52:51 Speaker 8: Yes. 00:52:51 Speaker 6: Whoa. 00:52:53 Speaker 3: And that's ridiculous because they're hurting the people that need help. You know, and I didn't realize it because I've never been late or absent. I had a disconnect or anything on my bill. They put this levelized billing on there. And once that I figured it out, I kept talking to the people. They couldn't make me understand where this extra money is. You're talking about $ 500 and you're making my bill be $ 500. I need to know where that money is. You know where it's coming from that I owe it. So once that I got to the people, they couldn't give me no understanding on it. I read up on levelized billing, and they passed that bill in January of 26, saying that we need to pay that back. 00:53:35 Speaker 8: So I think everybody. 00:53:37 Speaker 3: Needs to know about that. 00:53:40 Speaker 2: I am not familiar with that, but I will look into it. That doesn't sound, yeah, that sounds crazy. 00:53:47 Speaker 3: It is crazy because I've never been absent or delinquent on my bill at all. 00:53:51 Speaker 2: Levelized billing? 00:53:53 Speaker 8: Very shady sounding. 00:53:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Well, I'm going. 00:53:59 Speaker 8: To tell you, I called them because it's on my bill. 00:54:02 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:54:03 Speaker 2: And this was AES? 00:54:07 Speaker 4: Yes, on my AES bill. 00:54:09 Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I can send you a picture of it because, you know, that bill, I told the woman, I said, I'm not paying that extra money because you're not making it clear to

me. I don't have no understanding on where this money come from that I owe because I've never, you know, I pay my bill in the totality. Every month, I'm on a fixed income. 00:54:27 Speaker 2: Are you on a budget plan? 00:54:29 Speaker 3: I don't need a budget plan. 00:54:31 Speaker 4: I don't like budget. I do. 00:54:33 Speaker 3: I pay my bill in totality. 00:54:34 Speaker 2: Okay, okay. 00:54:35 Speaker 3: You know, every month on the 3rd, faithfully. 00:54:39 Speaker 8: Now, today they ain't. 00:54:39 Speaker 3: Get paid yet because I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I want to give them this $ 90, but I don't want it to mess up my credit, you know? 00:54:46 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. 00:54:48 Speaker 3: I've never been absent or late with my bill. And for you, and I pay it all the way in the totality, so I want to know where that money comes from. Yeah, that's crazy. And they couldn't make me understand it. 00:54:59 Speaker 2: And are you sure they're not trying to put you on a budget plan? 00:55:03 Speaker 3: No, the level of billing is a budget plan. But you don't have, I mean... The reason why I come is to levelize, and you don't have to ask for it. They automatically put you on there once that you receive energy assistance. 00:55:21 Speaker 4: Ah. 00:55:22 Speaker 3: So, therefore, they put extra money. So, now I'm paying for the money that energy assistance has provided. Once that I looked it up, once I looked it up on the bills that they passed, they passed that bill in January, like I said, to say that, Anybody who has ever been on energy assistance, they want us to pay their money back. Well, they never put it in a contract that we. 00:55:47 Speaker 4: Need to pay their money back, because if it wasn't, how. 00:55:50 Speaker 3: Many people would really get it? 00:55:52 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. 00:55:53 Speaker 4: You know, for real. 00:55:55 Speaker 3: And then they say, well, we sent a letter out, and you could opt out of it. Why should I have to opt out when I'm paying my bill in the totality? My bill is higher now than it was in the summer when I was running two air conditions, window air conditions at that. and you're talking about $ 400? You have almost $ 500? Man, I have a problem with that, and I got a problem with whoever voted that in. Yeah, it sounds problematic. 00:56:21 Speaker 8: So definitely. 00:56:23 Speaker 2: Let me see what we can find out. 00:56:25 Speaker 3: Please find out. 00:56:27 Speaker 8: And you got the number. 00:56:28 Speaker 3: I know it came up. You can always reach back to me because I'm willing to talk about it. I'm willing to get on air with this. 00:56:34 Speaker 8: Okay. 00:56:35 Speaker 3: Because this is definitely not right. 00:56:37 Speaker 8: Yeah. 00:56:38 Speaker 2: Okie dokie. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you, Hazel. 00:56:40 Speaker 3: But good luck to everybody who did vote, and let's hope for the best. 00:56:45 Speaker 4: All right. 00:56:45 Speaker 2: You voted already? 00:56:46 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 00:56:47 Speaker 8: Absolutely. Absolutely. 00:56:50 Speaker 10: Okay. 00:56:50 Speaker 12: All right. 00:56:51 Speaker 2: Thank you, Hazel. 00:56:51 Speaker 8: Have a great day, y'all. 00:56:52 Speaker 2: You too. You too. Thank you. You know what? I've heard in different explanations of what she's talking about now that I think about it. 00:57:01 Speaker 6: Levelized billing? 00:57:01 Speaker 2: The levelized billing is creating anxiety and confusion and even anger. 00:57:06 Speaker 5: It is. 00:57:07 Speaker 2: Among some folks. And the key is if you receive energy assistance. 00:57:12 Speaker 7: Now, it says here, I found something. It says it replaces the former budget billing program under Indiana law. 00:57:19 Speaker 6: H.E.A. 1002. 00:57:23 Speaker 7: That was this year. Supposedly smooths out seasonal bill spikes by. charging an averaged monthly amount based on your past 12 AES Indiana bills. And finally, they say it helps with budgeting by keeping monthly payments stable, even when usage varies, supposedly. 00:57:45 Speaker 2: Okay, there we go. But we can still find, maybe. 00:57:48 Speaker 6: There's somebody that can explain it a little bit more. 00:57:50 Speaker 4: 317-480-1310, 317-480-1310. 00:57:51 Speaker 2: 1310. Pike Township Trustee Annette Johnson, go ahead. How are you? 00:58:02 Speaker 12: Oh, how's everybody doing? 00:58:03 Speaker 2: Doing well. Doing well, Trustee Johnson. How are you doing? 00:58:07 Speaker 8: Oh, hanging in there. 00:58:08 Speaker 12: Just a lot going on with these polling sites and individuals trying to get their votes in for me as well. And so we just have a concern because what's going on is when voters try to vote their straight Democratic ticket in Pikes, my name does not get checked automatically, if that makes sense. I'm listed as a Democrat, but you have to actually go back in and click on my name in order for that vote to register. And so that is a problem. So I know that there has been quite a few calls. 00:58:44 Speaker 5: There's been some. 00:58:47 Speaker 5: I would say. 00:58:47 Speaker 12: Language on social media, some people putting some information out there. So I wanted to make sure individuals didn't know that. And so we will be working on that, hopefully with a statement tomorrow after the elections have closed, because there's not too much you can do about it at this particular moment. 00:59:09 Speaker 2: But there was... were some offices, can I ask you, there were some offices that we were told yesterday that, or was it yesterday or the day before, that, what's today? Today's Tuesday, okay. Monday, Julia was saying that voting a straight Democratic ticket doesn't doesn't put a net around all of the particular offices, including, like, the judges you have to go in. There's some offices that you have to go in and personally decide, you know, or put your decision. Is that what the township trustees are— It's not the same, though. 00:59:47

Speaker 12: If you look at your ballot, that information is already stated the exact way that you just said it. For the judges, it will tell you how many, you know. 00:59:56 Speaker 6: OK. 00:59:57 Speaker 12: So with me, no, that's not the case. Again, I am looped in under straight party. That's the way people chose to vote. And unfortunately, when my name comes up, you're not able it doesn't come up automatically. Again, I've already been contacted by it. the Marion County Election Board, that this is a really serious issue and concern. Unfortunately, we can't, the election has, you know, been going on for the last, you know, you had early voting for nine days. And so, unfortunately, we did not know. This was not brought to the attention. 01:00:33 Speaker 2: Oh, my. 01:00:35 Speaker 12: Because we kept getting calls and texts and things. And once We verified that this is accurate information, and that's when they went in to the software, and they're again a glitch with that particular software program. I've been told that we will again deal with this tomorrow. That doesn't satisfy me because my concern is once the election is over with, Of course I'm going to win. We know that. That is not my concern. My concern is the percentage. You know, I want to make sure I have a nice high percentage margin. And that will not pick that up because, again, if some individuals did not go back in and automatically click on my name, then that vote will not go in. 01:01:27 Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. 01:01:30 Speaker 12: And so if you look at my election from the May primary, I had 59 percent, you know, of the vote percentage. 01:01:39 Speaker 2: So you're saying it's difficult to get an accurate percentage. 01:01:43 Speaker 8: Exactly. 01:01:45 Speaker 12: And unfortunately, that's how. 01:01:47 Speaker 8: That will be recorded. 01:01:48 Speaker 12: Do you know? 01:01:48 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Do you know if it's impacting other races or has anyone else noticed that? 01:01:56 Speaker 12: From the conversation that I had with the Marion County Election Board, I am the only one affected by that. Now, I can't speak for anyone else. I only can go by the information that was given to me. If it is, I don't know if anyone noticed it. Again, the voters in Pike Township, we noticed it. It happened for me when I. 01:02:20 Speaker 4: Went to go vote. 01:02:21 Speaker 12: The exact same thing. I had to go back in. and, you know, checkmark my name automatically again. 01:02:28 Speaker 14: Oh, my. 01:02:29 Speaker 12: So I don't know. From what I have been told, I will probably be the only one that will be disputing this at the Marin County Election Board. 01:02:38 Speaker 9: All right. 01:02:39 Speaker 2: Well, please keep us posted on that because that's not good. 01:02:43 Speaker 1: No, it's not. 01:02:44 Speaker 5: It's not good. 01:02:44 Speaker 12: We have to be careful with these elections because, you know, voters have a lot of faith in the software. 01:02:52 Speaker 4: And. 01:02:54 Speaker 2: Software is only as good as the people that program it. 01:02:56 Speaker 6: That is true. 01:02:57 Speaker 12: Or the programmers. 01:02:58 Speaker 8: That's what I would say. 01:03:00 Speaker 12: There's two areas, the programmer and the software. And so that's what we want to get the answers from, hopefully from the Marion County, you know. 01:03:08 Speaker 8: Election board. 01:03:09 Speaker 12: And they have, you know, assuredly they will put out a statement. Again, it's just nothing we can do today because unfortunately the damage has been done. So that's what I want individuals to look for, you know, statement that will come out, you know, afterwards. 01:03:26 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that. And again, please keep us posted on what you find out so that we can let folks know because that's discerning. That's concerning. 01:03:37 Speaker 3: It is. 01:03:37 Speaker 2: Very concerning. Thank you. Thank you, Trustee Johnson. And good luck. Good luck in the election. So she's already declared victory. 01:03:44 Speaker 11: Yes, she has. 01:03:45 Speaker 6: She has. And that's good. 01:03:47 Speaker 2: That's good. She said she's sure she's going to win. But the vote margins are important because that's part of the record. 01:03:52 Speaker 6: Exactly. 01:03:52 Speaker 2: It's part of the record, and so I see her concern. 01:03:54 Speaker 6: But that should be investigated. Absolutely. Most definitely investigate that. 01:03:58 Speaker 2: Pat, go ahead. We'd love to hear your voting experience. Pat, are you there? 01:04:07 Speaker 6: Oh, Pat, you still with us? 01:04:11 Speaker 2: I heard movement. I heard movement, too. 01:04:13 Speaker 6: Pat, you still there? 01:04:15 Speaker 2: You're on the air. 01:04:15 Speaker 9: Pat? 01:04:15 Speaker 7: I think Pat might have... Fallen asleep on hold, maybe. Pat, if you're able to hear us, give us a call back. 01:04:30 Speaker 4: Okay. 01:04:30 Speaker 6: Want to move on to the next one? Maybe Pat will call us back. 01:04:34 Speaker 2: Maybe indeed. Kim Boyd. Kim, Kim, Kim, how are you? 01:04:37 Speaker 4: Hey, Kim, how are you guys doing this afternoon? 01:04:41 Speaker 6: Oh, we're happy. 01:04:42 Speaker 2: How are you? 01:04:43 Speaker 4: We are. 01:04:44 Speaker 2: I'm just happy this day has arrived, you know? 01:04:47 Speaker 4: Yes, indeed. And I think everybody's going to be on pins and needles to see the outcome tonight. One thing I wanted to mention, and it's regarding the traveling board. I got a call today from somebody that said that there were about 30 to 60 residents at the Creekside Rehabilitation and Health Center that wanted to vote. And I'm going to follow up on it, but I'm not going to name the person from the traveling board that was supposed to have gotten those residents there, even in spite of their condition medically, that they wanted to vote. There were 30 to 60 people that had expressed an interest in wanting to vote. And the

woman who was like the director of activities at the Crescite Center had communicated with the traveling board. And they had come out one time, but they did not. They were supposed to come back. Because some of the residents were not available, out with family, medical appointments, et cetera. But they never came back. And that's—every vote is precious. Every one of them. Yep. To be counted. And to hear 30 to 60 votes that were not counted, the residents are very disappointed because they wanted to vote. They tried to vote, so— Just wanted to say that about the traveling board. 01:06:44 Speaker 2: So what could be the situation? You know, what would the situation be, Kim? Do they only go, what, one time, and then that's it? Or, I mean, what could have been the issue? 01:06:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, because the director of services, Mrs. Dykus, she had reached out to them, and they said when they came out there that they would be back, but they never came back. Ah. She sent them an email, you know, because the residents, you know, were really concerned about being able to get their vote in, regardless of their medical situation and what they were going through. They wanted to vote. But 30, 60 votes are not going to be counted because somebody from the traveling board did not follow up with those residents. 01:07:32 Speaker 2: And so, you know, when I was talking to you, I just text. one of my relatives who has a parent in one of the nursing homes and uses the traveling board. And I just asked, you know, I wanted to find out what their experience was as well. I haven't heard back yet, but you reminded me, because I just thought about that. That's, that's crazy. 01:07:55 Speaker 8: Right. 01:07:55 Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, that 30 to 60 votes can make a difference. 01:08:01 Speaker 2: One vote makes a difference. 01:08:02 Speaker 4: When Ryan Mears, I know an early caller called in and, When Ryan Mears, you know, was elected after Terry Curry had stepped down as prosecutor, Ryan Mears won by eight votes. So, you know, those 30 to 60 votes. 01:08:20 Speaker 8: Could make a difference. 01:08:21 Speaker 2: Makes a big difference. 01:08:22 Speaker 14: Yeah. 01:08:23 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:08:23 Speaker 2: We got to we got to call us. Just stay right there, Kim. That says they had a similar situation to what you're talking about. Laura, go ahead. How are you? 01:08:32 Speaker 15: I'm doing well, Tina. 01:08:33 Speaker 11: I was listening to you all. And that's my good friend, Kim Boyd, that's calling in. And so I have and I've talked with you before about getting my guys in my house that never voted before in their 70s, you know, and the traveling board came. And so they came back this year. And so most of the guys, they did vote. But then there was one guy and he can't really tell me why they told him they was going to have to come back. He knows they said it was something and they was going to come back. And I said, well, when are they coming back? And he said, well, they're going to call me and they're going to come back so I can vote because something was wrong and I couldn't vote. And so I asked him yesterday, I said, well, have they called you? And he said no. So I was thinking myself to call, but I didn't. Because I was wholeheartedly believing that. I said, well, maybe they're going to show up tomorrow. 01:09:23 Speaker 14: I don't know tomorrow's. 01:09:24 Speaker 11: Election day, but we still haven't heard anything. So he did not get to do his vote either. 01:09:29 Speaker 6: Wow. 01:09:33 Speaker 11: So he can't really tell me what was wrong because he said, well, I don't know. And I said, well, OK, because, you know, he just doesn't collect information like that. 01:09:43 Speaker 8: So. 01:09:45 Speaker 2: So, Kim, Laura's got a similar situation. How long was the wait for you? I mean, between when they came and today, how many days, Kim? 01:09:56 Speaker 8: Well, the lady who's the director... Hey. 01:09:59 Speaker 4: Laura, how you doing? 01:10:00 Speaker 8: I'm doing great, Kim. Thank you. 01:10:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, the lady who was the director of activities at Creekside Center had set this up with the traveling board months ago. 01:10:15 Speaker 2: Okay. 01:10:16 Speaker 4: And so they had been out there in the past, but she sent, again, her name shall not include her name, but I'll put that for another time. But she did not return emails to her. The woman from the traveling board where Ms. Dykus had sent them out, she called repeatedly. And this was months in the making, so this wasn't even at the last minute. 01:10:46 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:10:47 Speaker 4: Because, thank God, they're a facility that encourages their people if they've expressed that interest and for them to vote. 01:10:55 Speaker 2: You know, Laura, can you and Kim report this to the voter integrity hotline that Common Cause Indiana has? Can you guys report that? 01:11:04 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:11:05 Speaker 2: Please, because this is exactly the kind of thing that I think they need to know about. Because this smacks in the face of lack of voter integrity, as far as I'm concerned. They're not giving these people the integrity that they deserve and the ability to vote. And that is what the Election Protection Project is. That's what the Voter Integrity Hotline is for. And these things need to be reported. You know, the election board and clerk's office may investigate, but I want this to be reported as well, if you don't mind. Can I give you all the number? 01:11:35 Speaker 10: Sure. 01:11:37 Speaker 2: Okay. It's 866... 866-687-8638. 01:11:43 Speaker 10: Okay. 01:11:50 Speaker 2: And that translates to 866-OUR-VOTE. But it's 866-687-8638. If both of you could call and report, you know, one is bad enough, but two, uh-uh, report it. It needs to be reported after one, but it definitely needs to be reported after two. And I was there. 01:12:14 Speaker 11: I waited with them last year, but I didn't this year because it went

so well last year. And I said, you guys got it. 01:12:20 Speaker 3: You can do it. 01:12:21 Speaker 11: Because we went over the who, you know, the voting, who was out there and what all they needed to do. 01:12:26 Speaker 4: And the yes, yes. 01:12:27 Speaker 14: And the no, no. 01:12:28 Speaker 11: And all that good stuff. And they were all ready. So they said, we got it, Ms. 01:12:32 Speaker 4: Flores. 01:12:32 Speaker 8: We can do it. 01:12:33 Speaker 11: I said, OK. Well, the others got theirs, but something happened with his and he can't explain. But there's one vote that didn't go. 01:12:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate that. 01:12:41 Speaker 8: I hate that. 01:12:43 Speaker 2: I was on my way to work and had another friend that called in and there were some issues with one of their family members who is on dialysis and they kept missing the opportunity because of the dialysis treatments that they have to undergo. And we're going to have to go to dialysis today. And the problem is, even though they went early, After a session, they're typically wiped out, and it's very difficult for them. Because the problem was the absentee ballot that was requested several weeks ago never came. The absentee ballot. 01:13:22 Speaker 4: Tina, that's exactly what happened with one of the residents at that center that spoke with me. She mailed off to get her absentee ballot and never got it back. 01:13:37 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what she was saying. 01:13:38 Speaker 8: Her plan B was the traveling board. Yep. That was her plan B. And then that never happened. 01:13:45 Speaker 4: Yeah. And we can't lose voters like this, not in such crucial times. 01:13:49 Speaker 12: No. 01:13:49 Speaker 8: 30 to 60 people. 01:13:52 Speaker 2: And especially with another one right around the corner. These holes have to be plugged. It's just unacceptable. 01:13:59 Speaker 8: Right. 01:13:59 Speaker 2: But, yeah, and like you say, people that have, you know, bona fide genuine illness, scheduled appointments. So these things have to be done and it has to be accurate on time and reliable. 01:14:11 Speaker 4: And they have a right to be heard and their vote counted. 01:14:14 Speaker 8: Just like anybody else. Yeah. Yeah. 01:14:16 Speaker 2: And this this person was telling me that their relative was just just so dejected today because. They did. They're going to try. They're going to try to get him to, you know, if he rests up, OK, they're going to still going to try. But she said they you know, if he's if he's not well after dialysis and not, you know, not up to it, what are you going to do? 01:14:36 Speaker 1: So, yeah. 01:14:38 Speaker 11: Well, yesterday he won't have to stand in line. He could go straight. 01:14:44 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:14:44 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:14:44 Speaker 2: She knows he won't have to stand in line, but it's just. You know, getting them there. 01:14:49 Speaker 8: Yeah. And the other thing that happened with Ms. 01:14:54 Speaker 4: Dykes, I mean, she got in trouble with her boss because her boss was like, why didn't you get those people voted? Why didn't you get them out here? So, I mean, this has a trickle-down effect when these things go awry. 01:15:09 Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. You know, one thing slips behind the, what do you call it, slips... But never falls through the cracks, falls through the cracks. And before you know it, it multiplies and and you just it just can't be that way. 01:15:24 Speaker 8: So. 01:15:26 Speaker 2: But, yeah, please report that. And I boy, I don't know. 01:15:30 Speaker 10: Hmm. 01:15:32 Speaker 2: These are things you don't want to hear, but when you do hear them, thank goodness you've got some remedy, I guess. But we've got to get this straightened out because, like I said, right after this one is the municipal elections where we're going to be electing a mayor, and then not too long after that, it's going to be another presidential election. So these systems need to run flawlessly. They need to run flawlessly. 01:15:55 Speaker 6: Why would an absentee ballot not arrive? 01:15:57 Speaker 2: I don't know. 01:15:58 Speaker 6: Why would that be? 01:15:59 Speaker 2: But they said that he... sent off for it more than a month ago, maybe six weeks ago. 01:16:05 Speaker 6: Doesn't make any sense. 01:16:06 Speaker 2: Never arrived. 01:16:07 Speaker 6: Has that happened before? Have you heard of that happening before? I'm sure it has. Over the years, you know, not arriving? 01:16:14 Speaker 2: No, no, no, not. 01:16:18 Speaker 6: Interesting. 01:16:19 Speaker 4: Let me say in ending, Tina, that a lady's name that I spoke with that was director of activities over there was Raina Polk. At the Creekside Center. And she was one of the people that I spoke to that called me about that. So just wanted to let you know. And I thank Laura. You know, this is not isolated. 01:16:46 Speaker 9: No. 01:16:46 Speaker 4: Unfortunately. No. 01:16:51 Speaker 2: Your situation and Laura's situation and then, you know, my friend's situation with her family member. They they're all along the same lines, but basically the accommodations were not made to help people vote that that need accommodations. And you have to be to me, you have to be twice as as vigilant over those types of things as you do some of the others, because if these people get left out, then it's just, you. 01:17:18 Speaker 4: Know, it's just unthinkable. 01:17:20 Speaker 2: Thank you, Kim, for bringing that. Thank you. Really, really appreciate it. And keep us posted on what you find out as well. 01:17:26 Speaker 8: So. 01:17:27 Speaker 2: That we can keep sharing with our listeners. I love it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Indeed. Indeed. 317-480-1310. 317-480-1310. It is election day across the country.

By 5.59, you're good to go. 01:18:24 Speaker 6: You're good. 01:18:25 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phone lines. Lisa, go ahead. How are you? 01:18:28 Speaker 6: Just a second. There she should be. Okay. 01:18:31 Speaker 3: Hi, Lisa. 01:18:33 Speaker 8: Hey, how are you doing? 01:18:34 Speaker 5: Good. 01:18:34 Speaker 2: How are you? 01:18:35 Speaker 13: You know, Shreve, he's over the mail, right? Remember the slow mail situation going on? 01:18:46 Speaker 12: Who? 01:18:46 Speaker 2: Shreve? Jefferson Shreve? 01:18:49 Speaker 15: Jefferson Shreve. 01:18:50 Speaker 13: Wasn't he the one? 01:18:52 Speaker 2: Not that I know of. He runs for Congress. He ran for mayor, and now he's running for congressional seat. 01:18:59 Speaker 13: He's in that position. 01:19:02 Speaker 2: He's not the postmaster general, though. Jefferson Street? 01:19:06 Speaker 13: Some kind of way they were tampering with the mail. I don't remember what happened, but there was a news story about the mail being slow for some reason. So you had to be careful when you mailed stuff. I don't know all the details. And they were telling people to be careful when they mailed stuff. Somebody had been tampering with the post office or something. And I don't know who, you know, I might be prophesying something or just seeing something, but I don't know. 01:19:40 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? 01:19:42 Speaker 2: Well, it says, oh, that's my father's birthday. February 13th, 2025, Shreve led the Indiana congressional delegation in a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding answers regarding severe mail and package delays. medication and financial document backlogs, improper mail misrouting, such as via Louisville instead of Evansville, and reduced rural service. So he toured the U.S. Yeah, so I guess he was involved in, you know, trying to clean up the mail service, so to speak. 01:20:19 Speaker 8: Oh, okay. 01:20:20 Speaker 3: So I did hear his statement. 01:20:22 Speaker 13: But I did vote today, and I understand what Mr. 01:20:24 Speaker 5: Duvall wrote. 01:20:26 Speaker 9: Yay. 01:20:29 Speaker 2: Yay, yay, yay. Where'd you vote? 01:20:33 Speaker 13: Lugar Towers. 01:20:34 Speaker 2: Lugar Towers. Was it crowded? 01:20:35 Speaker 8: No. 01:20:38 Speaker 2: It was so easy in, easy out? 01:20:40 Speaker 4: Easy in. 01:20:40 Speaker 13: I could take my time, but I had to read those questions, and it was just like, what? 01:20:44 Speaker 6: Yeah, those questions. Word salad. Word salad questions. 01:20:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're made difficult on purpose. 01:20:53 Speaker 10: It was so confusing. 01:20:54 Speaker 3: So I'm not even sure if I said. 01:20:56 Speaker 13: The right yes or no. 01:20:57 Speaker 3: I don't have a clue. Whether I said the right yes or no. 01:21:01 Speaker 13: What you looking at? I got somebody looking at me. I got some spies. 01:21:06 Speaker 5: But anyway. 01:21:08 Speaker 2: What you looking at? 01:21:11 Speaker 4: Boo. 01:21:11 Speaker 2: What are you looking at? 01:21:13 Speaker 7: Do you need me? 01:21:14 Speaker 12: Anyway, all right. 01:21:15 Speaker 3: But yeah. 01:21:17 Speaker 13: What else was I going to say about the voting situation? 01:21:21 Speaker 5: I'm just so disillusioned. 01:21:24 Speaker 10: I'm just so disillusioned. 01:21:27 Speaker 2: Stay encouraged, though. We got to stay encouraged. We have no choice. 01:21:32 Speaker 13: But, you know, I'm learning by being in the precinct District 7 position, but it's just so much. And I do understand when I ask you what you vote is, and it's just too much. I don't even know where to start. There's one young man. And another young man was like, I don't vote because it seems like they just end up doing what they want to do anyway, you know. And then it was somebody else that I asked, why you don't vote, young man? He's like, well, we winning, so I don't worry about it. He said the fact that Trump is in there is showing that we winning, black folks. I don't know what that means. 01:22:15 Speaker 9: Okay. 01:22:17 Speaker 13: But so it's a Rubik's Cube that has to be, you. 01:22:23 Speaker 8: Know, fixed. 01:22:24 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:22:25 Speaker 2: No, you know how difficult the ruby is. But there's always a solution, though. There is a solution to the ruby. That's the positive. 01:22:32 Speaker 8: That's the positive. 01:22:34 Speaker 2: Always a solution. 01:22:35 Speaker 13: I can't come up with solutions because I do have some solutions. And I hope to one day see that we don't have to do all that Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Tea Party, whoever. 01:22:47 Speaker 3: I'm a voter. 01:22:48 Speaker 13: And just like that movie... Just like the movie None. 01:22:52 Speaker 14: Of the Above. 01:22:53 Speaker 15: I don't know if. 01:22:54 Speaker 13: You remember that movie. I think it was Eddie Murphy. 01:22:58 Speaker 2: It's called None of the Above? 01:23:00 Speaker 13: Richard Pryor. 01:23:02 Speaker 3: Was it Richard Pryor? 01:23:03 Speaker 2: Called None of the Above? 01:23:05 Speaker 13: No, he ran for president, and he didn't think, they didn't want any of the candidates. 01:23:12 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. 01:23:13 Speaker 13: It was like None of the Above. He didn't think he was going to get it. He ended up getting it. 01:23:18 Speaker 10: He ended up getting it. 01:23:20 Speaker 8: You got to. 01:23:21 Speaker 3: See that movie. 01:23:22 Speaker 8: Okay. 01:23:23 Speaker 2: Check it out.

It may be. Look that up. Brewster's Millions. 01:25:25 Speaker 6: Okay. 01:25:26 Speaker 2: I've seen most of his movies, and I probably have seen that one.

Not a big movie watcher, though. 01:25:37 Speaker 6: You know, neither am I. 01:25:38 Speaker 2: Not as much as I used to be. 01:25:39 Speaker 6: I mean, neither am I. Same here. It's not a lot of, don't watch a lot of movies. 01:25:43 Speaker 2: Not a lot of good stuff out there, really. 01:25:45 Speaker 6: Ain't that the truth? 01:25:47 Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed. 317-480-1310. 317-480-1310 is the number to the show. It is election day. It is the clock is ticking. It's winding down a little bit. Six o'clock is when everything shuts down here in Indianapolis, Marion County and the surrounding counties, the donut counties in Indiana, with the exception of. Probably the far northwest and the far southwest, which are in different time zones, an hour behind us. Right, right. Everything closes up at 6 o'clock. 01:26:21 Speaker 6: Right, 6 o'clock. Maybe someday it'll be expanded to an hour more. Yeah, someday. 01:26:27 Speaker 2: 30 minutes more. 01:26:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, 30 minutes would be, because some people don't get off. 01:26:30 Speaker 7: Work until 5.45, 6 o'clock. 01:26:33 Speaker 2: Mostly, yes. So, so very true. So true, so true. 01:26:37 Speaker 8: 317-480-1310. 01:26:38 Speaker 2: Give us a call. You want to talk elections. For the most part, this has been as most election days go. A lot of good experiences, a lot of things that are concerning, but a lot of activity. That's true. A lot of activity. 01:26:55 Speaker 6: Which is good to see. 01:26:56 Speaker 2: That's very good to see. Keep the calls coming. We'll take them as long as we can. 01:27:00 Speaker 4: 317-480-1310. 01:27:00 Speaker 10: Lori, go ahead. 01:27:01 Speaker 2: How are you? 01:27:06 Speaker 15: Hello, I just heard that you made my announcement that I left at Amberwood's apartment. I wanted everybody to know about that polling location because a lot of folks didn't know that Amberwood had that polling location there. 01:27:22 Speaker 2: Oh, okay. 01:27:24 Speaker 15: And I was there about 30 minutes. And the reason why I was inside at the machine for 30 minutes was because I wanted to vote on any government seat that any candidate was going for. 01:27:38 Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. 01:27:39 Speaker 15: They had about 12 voting machines. 01:27:44 Speaker 12: It was kind of risky. 01:27:45 Speaker 15: It was coming in and out. 01:27:46 Speaker 10: Mm-hmm. 01:27:46 Speaker 15: And just like I said, I wanted to take my time to vote and go over everything before I made my final selection. 01:27:53 Speaker 3: Okay. 01:27:54 Speaker 12: Okay. 01:27:54 Speaker 2: And how was it? 01:27:56 Speaker 15: Oh, it was fine. 01:27:58 Speaker 12: Okay. 01:27:58 Speaker 8: Real fine. 01:27:59 Speaker 2: No issues? No problems? 01:28:01 Speaker 3: Everybody. 01:28:02 Speaker 15: No problems at all. No problems at all. And I just want everybody to know who lives over on the far east side of town to come to Amberwood. Some people didn't know that that location was there.

It translates to eight. 01:33:36 Speaker 7: Six, six, six, eight, seven, eight, six, three, eight. That's eight, six, six, six, eight, seven, eight, six, three, eight. 01:33:48 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Um, and, uh, vote.indy.gov for information. If you're just heading, you know, heading that way, uh, to the polls, but, um, So far, as far as the election monitors, you know, we've been on the air almost two hours and I've not heard a single word. 01:34:05 Speaker 13: Not a word. 01:34:06 Speaker 2: Not one word about monitors, where they are, if they're being disruptive, if they're bothering anybody. So as Clerk Kate Sweeney-Bell said, it's a non-factor, a non-issue, or they plan for it to be a non-issue. 01:34:23 Speaker 4: True. 01:34:23 Speaker 2: Can't say that it hasn't been an issue. I'm just saying we haven't gotten anything so far. 01:34:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're supposed to be inconspicuous anyway. 01:34:32 Speaker 2: They really are. 01:34:33 Speaker 6: Not in special uniforms or anything. No masks, nothing like that. 01:34:37 Speaker 2: Fall Creek Valley Middle School, no way to vote. 01:34:39 Speaker 9: Yeah, no way. 01:34:39 Speaker 2: That's in Lawrence Township. 01:34:40 Speaker 6: Lawrence Township. 01:34:41 Speaker 7: Right off 63rd Street, I think, there in Lawrence. 01:34:44 Speaker 12: Yeah. 01:34:45 Speaker 2: Another chat. If you happen to be in the area, New Beginnings Fellowship Church, 21st and German Church has voting booths. 01:34:52 Speaker 4: All right. 01:34:52 Speaker 2: Way east. 01:34:54 Speaker 6: Way out there on the east side. 01:34:56 Speaker 2: We got way east. So we're right downtown. We're literally right. 01:35:00 Speaker 8: Down the middle. 01:35:00 Speaker 6: We're right here just off Meridian. 01:35:01 Speaker 2: Right off Meridian. So German Church is way east and way... No, further away than Pike. Wayne is west. 01:35:10 Speaker 12: Oh, yeah. 01:35:10 Speaker 6: Wayne's way west. 01:35:11 Speaker 2: Way west. So I'm thinking it would be. 01:35:15 Speaker 2: What would be west um uh high school road maybe even what more west. 01:35:21 Speaker 6: Uh raceway that's right now that's the boundary right. 01:35:24 Speaker 2: There is that is there a county line. 01:35:26 Speaker 6: Road i think that's a boundary between marion and. 01:35:30 Speaker 2: And hendrix okay okay we got it we got it uh yeah uh take a couple of see if we can get any more calls in here uh before we have to go because time is running out but uh we are so i'm You know, the main thing that I can take away from today is that people are involved. People are busy. People are active. People are sharing. And that's the way an election day should go. I don't think we could ever ask for a better day. This is probably the best election day weather wise that I've seen in years. I mean, it just doesn't get any better than this. almost 70, sunny, not, you know, a couple of clouds in the sky, but who cares? I mean, I don't know what clouds do. You know, we don't have severe clear, but it's just really, really, really a great day. So I think that that definitely has to drive up voter turnout. It has to, because people don't have to sit at home and say, ooh, it's too yucky, I don't want to go there. Any improprieties, any shenanigans, anything that makes you uncomfortable anything that you see that you don't like, please call and report that to the Election Protection Project, the Election Protection Hotline, 866-687-8638. 01:36:51 Speaker 5: 866-687-8638. 01:36:51 Speaker 2: If you are on your way to vote, please don't forget that You are allowed to take in vote materials. You're allowed to take in voter guides such as they are. You're allowed to take in your cell phone and look up information on candidates. If you like, you're allowed to do those things. 01:37:21 Speaker 3: OK. 01:37:24 Speaker 2: Just for just to say it and just to make sure that you understand it, if by chance there's only 12 that have to go around 182 vote centers. So the odds are very unlikely that you're going to encounter an election monitor from Trump's DOJ, but if you do, you're not obligated to speak to them, and they're

not allowed to approach you as you head into the election. 01:37:52 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 01:37:54 Speaker 2: Probably the last call we'll be able to get in this afternoon, but we'll be able to get it in, and that is Pat. Go ahead. How are you, Pat? 01:38:02 Speaker 3: Hey, Tina. 01:38:03 Speaker 8: How are you? 01:38:04 Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you. 01:38:06 Speaker 9: I voted this day about 1 o'clock, and I voted at the same place I always do. 01:38:09 Speaker 14: Okay. 01:38:12 Speaker 9: New beginning on German church. I always vote there because it's such a calm and. 01:38:18 Speaker 4: Orderly place to go. 01:38:19 Speaker 9: The people that greet you from beginning to end are patient and helpful. 01:38:24 Speaker 3: I don't know. 01:38:25 Speaker 9: Maybe it's because it's God's house. But anyway, it was beautiful. But I need to tell you one thing. Had it not been, oh, thank you, Jesus. Had it not been for you feeding us information and explaining things to us and breaking things down about certain bills or certain people to vote for us, I thought about you when I was in the booth, and I was like, thank you, Tina, because I wrote down everything you said. 01:38:53 Speaker 1: Oh, good. 01:38:54 Speaker 2: She wrote it down and took it with. 01:38:55 Speaker 5: Her, Eric. 01:38:55 Speaker 6: There you go, Pat. 01:38:58 Speaker 4: I loved it. 01:38:58 Speaker 9: I got my just gate there. I know him because I listened to him and his wife on the radio. 01:39:03 Speaker 8: Yeah. 01:39:04 Speaker 9: But the other one that you explained about, because you poured that information into your people, I was able to make an intelligent decision about. 01:39:14 Speaker 4: Those two things. So again, I want to thank you. 01:39:18 Speaker 9: So much for feeding us information, educating us, and always, always giving us the information we need. I thank you, and God bless you, Tina. 01:39:28 Speaker 2: Thank you, and same to you. I certainly appreciate you, Pat. We try, Eric. We try. 01:39:34 Speaker 6: Certainly do. 01:39:35 Speaker 2: And if we don't get it right, we get it right. 01:39:37 Speaker 6: There's a lot of information. 01:39:39 Speaker 2: There's a lot of information, and I was really happy to have the experts who were willing to join us, the professionals who were willing to join us and make it plain. Voting is simple in a lot of ways and not in others. And so if we were able to be a help to anybody, then that's good. 01:40:02 Speaker 6: That's true. Very true. 01:40:04 Speaker 2: Very, very true. And I'm very happy to do that. That's what we like to do. So let's... Let's sign off right now because we have to. If we don't. 01:40:15 Speaker 6: I guess we have. 01:40:16 Speaker 2: If we don't, we'll get in trouble. Karen's back, too. 01:40:21 Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. 01:40:21 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. She's back. We've got to be on our best behavior. 01:40:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. She's right down the hall. Yeah, but no, we certainly want to encourage everyone to get out there, take someone with you if you can. there's still a boatload of time, even though just a little over three hours, that's a boatload of time because it takes 20 minutes or less to vote. And 182 different places here in Indianapolis and Marion County. And we're going to have a big review show tomorrow, so please be sure to tune in. We're going to watch the returns and see what all happens tonight. We have no idea. 01:41:03 Speaker 6: No idea. 01:41:04 Speaker 12: But.... 01:41:06 Speaker 2: One thing that I think we can be assured of is that voter turnout was one of the best that we've had in years. 01:41:11 Speaker 12: In years. 01:41:12 Speaker 7: And again, if you want to know wait times, voteintime.org. You can get all the information there. That's voteintime.org. 01:41:22 Speaker 2: Any shenanigans, 866-OUR-VOTE. 01:41:23 Speaker 4: 866-687-8638. 01:41:23 Speaker 2: All righty. That's the number to call. Anything else, vote.indy.gov for the Vote Center. All you have to do is put in your address. You can get a sample ballot. There's still plenty of time to work with. We don't need a whole lot of time. We just need the opportunity. And we've got, well, they say, I've got space and opportunity. So we've got the space and we've got the opportunity. Space is 182 sites. The opportunity is from now until 6 o'clock. 01:41:54 Speaker 6: Until 6 o'clock. 01:41:55 Speaker 7: And remember, if you're in line at 559, you can still vote. 01:41:59 Speaker 6: You don't have to leave. Stay there. 01:42:01 Speaker 2: Stay right there. They will get to you if the line is down to Alabama. 01:42:06 Speaker 3: Yes. 01:42:06 Speaker 2: If you are in line at 559, you stay right there because they cannot take away your right to vote. 01:42:11 Speaker 6: That's true. 01:42:12 Speaker 2: All right. Good luck, everybody. Let's make it a good one. That's all the time we have for right now. As always, thank you for listening. Our website is praiseindy.com. Willie Moore Jr. on the radio is up next.
