Judge Tosses Early Voting Case Back To Lower Court

At Issue: Whether Early Polling Places Can Open In Gary, Hammond, East Chicago

(Post-Tribune) According to the Post-Tribune, federal Judge Joseph Van Bokkelen ruled this afternoon that he does not have jurisdiction to decide over request by Lake County Republicans that he stop satellite voting centers from opening in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago.

He ordered it remanded to Lake Superior Court, where Judge Calvin Hawkins initially granted the Republican Party's temporary restraining order Oct. 3.
