A Lake County voting dispute will come before the Indiana Court of Appeals for oral argument Thursday, October 30, 2008.  Court of Appeals Chief Judge John Baker signed the order for the Court setting the case for oral argument after the Indiana Supreme Court denied a motion to accept jurisdiction of the case. 

This expedited, interlocutory appeal arises from a preliminary injunction issued by the Lake Superior Court enjoining the Lake County Board of Elections and Registration from terminating in-person absentee voting for the 2008 General Election in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago.

The Court of Appeals assigned the case to a writing panel according to the Court’s standard predetermined case assignment procedures.  Three Court of Appeals Judges will hear oral argument in the case in the Supreme Court Courtroom at the Indiana State House, room 317. 

Thursday October 30, 2008
1:30 p.m. E.S.T.
Supreme Court Courtroom

 The oral argument will be webcast live and later archived.  To watch the webcast visit courts.IN.gov.
