I’m so incredibly thankful to the millions of Hoosiers who voted and made their voices heard. Thank you to our supporters and volunteers for their energy and enthusiasm. Because of all of you, I remain confident that Hoosier hospitality and ingenuity will ensure that Indiana’s best days remain ahead of us. Simply put, Hoosiers define the Hoosier State, not the Governor. For now, I’m confident the sun will come up tomorrow, as it has every day after the other 51 men were elected governor. Thank you so much, and God bless the great state of Indiana.”

We want to make sure every registered Indiana voter has the ability to fairly and equally cast their ballot, and that was not the case this morning," Indiana Democratic Party Executive Director Dayna Colbert said. "Everyone who was unable to vote this morning or because of the long lines the backup created throughout the day should not be disenfranchised of their constitutional right to cast a ballot and vote in this election because of a technical error."
