    Question: can a voter/citizen who has been charged with a felony ( domestic battery- repeat offender)- served time in the "DOC"- 1 1/2 years; then had the Class D Felony ( p    rior to IN state law criminal code revisions)- reduced to a Class A misdemeanor- still be eligible to run for Political Office? so- for an example- If Charlie white was convicted for a Low-level felone ( class d equivalent)- served his sentence; etc- and then the Felony was reduced to a Misdemeanor; for having satisfied the courts sentence; and or perhaps the new Redaction laws- could Charlie white then run for a political office again? The same law could be applied to the Matt Kelty matter.
    More specifically- my specific Inquiry would be for Roberson for Mayor- here is the link to his In. Gov Criminal history as a FWPD officer fired from the FWPD.. ?

    • Allen County Election Board If a voter of an election district the candidate seeks to represent believes that a candidate is not eligible to be on the ballot, the voter may file a sworn statement with the Indiana Election Division or the county election board setting forth the facts known to the voter as to why the candidate is ineligible. Then the state or county election division can conduct a hearing to determine if the candidate is eligible. The deadline for filing this form for the 2015 Primary is noon February 13.

    • David Christopher Roach thank you. next- why is the ACEB "complaint driven"? shouldnt they be investigating/checking out the candidates as they file? for instance- several years ago- there was a vacant county surveyors post- so a replacement was caucused in by the GOP. it was only until a couple years later- this person was found to be ineligible due to a felony conviction- I was a GOP precinct person waaay back- and was embarrassed and ashamed - to vote for this felon; and that the party failed to properly vet this dude. of courseit was before the In.gov "my case" court system- which is a handy tool for doing cursory background checks on citizens criminal records..
      I guess im saying- why does a citizen have to RAT OUT candidates? shouldnt part of the ACEB job descrption be making sure candidates backgrounds check out; to pass any disqualifying background issues? 
      thank you for your reply.

(b) As used in this section, "felony" means a conviction in any jurisdiction for which the     convicted person might have been imprisoned for more than one (1) year. However, the term does not include a conviction: (1) for which the person has been pardoned; or (2) that has been: (A) reversed; (B) vacated; (C) set aside; (D) not entered because the trial court did not accept the person's guilty plea; or (E) expunged under IC 35-38-9.

    • David Christopher Roach very concise reply. I hope this was simply a copy and paste- as if you typed this entire citation; well- you are to be commended.. 
      I shall examine this more closely; and decide to challenge or not other candidates..
      what about candidates who can be s      how to have committed probable felonies- but have never been charged?
      I can show through a sequence of news stories and facts- and media accounts of politicians who were in office; police who should have detected this; and others.. .but it would take a very extensive challenge; information to file with the ACEB.. Racketeering, conspiracy; obstruction of justice; money laundering, etc. - cherry Masters- from 1990- to approximately 2005.. which includes a LOT of local police; and politicians who may have been corrupted.. 
      HARVEY DENT ( batman)- would be proud..
