MADISON COUNTY, Ind. — A former Republican candidate running for an Indiana seat in the U.S. House of Representatives has been arrested and charged with stealing several election ballots during a recent voting machine test.

Missing ballots
The charges filed against Savage, a 51-year-old Anderson resident and precinct committeeman, stem from an incident on Oct. 3 in which two election ballots went missing at the Madison County Government Center during testing of the local voting machines.

Typical liberal conceit, transforming facts into feelings. It is a fact that non-college educated men have lost power and influence in this society. This has been part of an on-going effort to off-shore manufacturing and jobs, thereby increasing the wealth of the capitalist class, and impoverishing the former middle class. This effort was spearheaded by Democrats, specifically Bill Clinton, to reward his corporate sponsors, while the promised “re-tooling” and “re-education” never occurred. All this while the educated professional class has done quite well. This demographic has been abandoned. Democrats have stabbed labor in the back decade after decade disempowering union activity. These men have every right to be furious, and Trump has tapped into that fury. Because the Democrats continue to fail badly all of us will pay the price. Think and vote outside the box.
Miami is now out-numbered by Cubans but people learned to live together and survive! So will this country, but laws have to be followed and proper punishment must be given and new rules for this damn SCOTUS have to be put in place if we are to retain our democracy!!!!
