## Resource

A fake signature page sent by a volunteer to Greg Ballard’s Indiana Secretary of State campaign has ignited a firestorm, prompting a police investigation and nationwide scrutiny of his petition process. With just ten fraudulent signatures out of 37,000 needed, the county GOP chair slammed Ballard for running for election oversight while his own team allegedly broke the rules. Ballard’s camp defended the system, calling it proof of its integrity, and severed ties with the volunteer. But officials are demanding a full audit of all petition pages from that collector — a stark reminder that even tiny flaws can unravel big campaigns.
