Under 48 hours, polls open for Election Day voting. The Marion County Clerk’s website has 1) Times & locations for early voting (still open 11/3 & 11/4); 2) Locations for voting 11/5; and 3) What gov’t-issued photo ID, that you must have w/you, is acceptable. [FN1] 1/15

IN Gov/Lt Gov ticket cannot be split & 3 parties’ tickets are on the ballot. [FN2] When delegates to the GOP State convention nominated Micah Beckwith for Lt Gov, oddities arose, as best exemplified by Beckwith’s addressing a GOP German problem. Beckwith was angry: 2/15

“Kamala Harris’ calling President Trump ‘Hitler’ isn’t just false” ... it resorts to “fearmongering because [Democratic Party candidates] can’t win on policy.” [FN3]
1) Beckwith is stupid & lies. [FN4] Vice President Harris called no one “Hitler.” [FN5] 3/15

Beckwith sees a quote and reads into it what s/he wants to see. Vice Pres Harris, even as quoted in Beckwith’s post, said trump “wanted generals like Hitler had.” Ah! Beckwith quoted another dumbass like himself, RFK, Jr [FN6] Maybe Beckwith can blame RFK, Jr! 4/15

2) The quote from RFK, Jr., that accompanies the quote from Vice Pres Harris does not mention Hitler. [FN7]
3) Beckwith’s has problems w/women, esp non-white women, as his saying Democratic women are filled w/“Jezebel spirit” demonstrates. [FN8] 5/15

Beckwith has problems referring to the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, by her official title. Beckwith should stop getting a “pass” on issues. [FN9] Beckwith will not confront actual adversaries, face-to-face. Beckwith’s an intellectual coward. 6/15

If you are registered to vote and have notn voted, this election is important. Even as IN Lt Gov, Beckwith can really screw things up. One need only look at what Beckwith did to HEPL in his half-term on its board. And Beckwith has praised Fed Gov shutdowns. 7/15

There are budgetary problems IN will face if the GOP ticket wins. First, we need to demand all of Beckwith’s chats w/”God” be listed by date and content so that Beckwith can’t simply pull a quote from one of those chats as is convenient for Beckwith. Scribes cost $$$. 8/15

Also Braun is 70. The Lt Gov is only a heartbeat away from the office of IN Gov. Braun would be prudent to have a taste tester on staff. Remember: follow Cassie Jackson on Facebook. #BrainsNotBraun 9/15

Footnotes:
FN9. Beckwith’s criticism of anyone else for “fearmongering” (e.g., false claims re: Haitian immigrants in Logansport) would be laughable if real lives were not imperiled by her/his words.
