All of the excitement and attention being paid to the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in Indiana could affect the outcomes of other important local races.

The New York Times’ Monica Davey reports:

For the first time since 1968, all eyes have turned to Indiana’s Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday. About 200,000 new voters have registered, and the presidential candidates seem to turn up on every corner.

But eclipsed by all the excitement over The Race are the many others across the state: for county treasurers, coroners, surveyors, school board members, judges, state senators, members of Congress and, in Ms. Long Thompson’s case, governor.

While the presidency is an important race, we must not forget that the outcomes of several local elections could determine whether Lake County ends up with an income tax or not.  Also, there is an election to decide who will be judge in County Division, Room Three.
