Indiana's election commission deadlocks

See Election Fine Against Lawmaker Erased in the Indianapolis Star. The article begins: "An Indiana lawmaker will pay no penalty despite repeatedly breaking state election laws, after the Indiana Election Commission deadlocked along party lines on his punishment Thursday.

The partisan impasse erased the $10,000 fine levied by the commission in June against state Rep. Brooks LaPlante, R-Terre Haute, for failing to report any of the money he poured into his campaign in the final days before the election."
