​"The purpose of [election] law and the efforts of the court are to secure to the elector an opportunity to freely and fairly cast his ballot, and to uphold the will of the electorate and prevent disfranchisement.” (State ex rel. Harry v. Ice, 191 N.E. 155, 157 (Ind. 1934))

Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita, has submitted an amicus brief in support of my case. Here's a summary:

Attorney General Rokita argues that Thomas lacks standing because he has not shown any personal injury, as required by Indiana law. Courts should not intervene in election disputes based on general public interest alone.

If the Court addresses the merits, it should affirm that political parties can renominate candidates after procedural errors, as Indiana’s election laws allow multiple paths for correction.

Finally, the Court of Appeals erred in nullifying the 2023 election results. Overturning elections is only justified when voters knowingly elect an ineligible candidate, which did not occur. The Indiana Supreme Court should reverse the decision.

​You can read the full brief below. The Indiana Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for March 13, 2025 at 9:00 a.m.
