INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric Holcomb seemed to cross-out any possibility of mail-in voting for Hoosiers.
The governor said it is important we have in-person voting in Indiana and only absentee voting for those who qualify.
During his Wednesday briefing, Holcomb said that President Trump had no influence on that decision, calling accusations "inaccurate."
When asked about people concerned about their health with going to the polls on election day, the governor challenged anyone to find a case of COVID-19 that came from going to the polls during the primary. The governor also said he was not aware of any cases of voter fraud as a result of mail-in voting for the primary.
The governor said that Indiana has a mask mandate and that will hold for anyone voting at the polls, as well as those working the polls.
"It is safe to vote," Holcomb said.
The governor encouraged anyone not comfortable with going to the polls on Nov. 3 to consider early voting.
