In Indianapolis, the Indiana Recount Commission voted 3-0 to allow Secretary of State Charlie White to remain in office.

The panel of two Republicans and one Democrat
voted Tuesday to turn down the contention from Democrats that White was
illegally registered to vote from his ex-wife’s Fishers home when he
declared his candidacy.

“Respondant Charlie White was eligible to run
as a candidate for Secretary of State in 2010,” said Thomas Wheeler,
Indiana Recount Commission.

Upon hearing those words White, sitting in
the back row began shaking his head in the affirmative. He hugged his
wife and then turned his attention back to the commission as he wiped
away a tear.

“These laws are so antiquated. They don’t reflect current society,” Wheeler said.
