Secretary of State Diego Morales must immediately terminate his office's partnership with Turning Point USA's Club America and cancel any similar arrangements Governor Braun plans to announce. State offices have no business formally partnering with ideological organizations for voter registration or civic engagement. This partnership violates basic principles of neutral election administration. Morales claims his office conducts "non-partisan" voter registration, yet his spokeswoman won't confirm whether similar partnerships exist with progressive organizations. If the Secretary of State wants to register young voters, his office should do that work independently, not outsource it to a conservative activist group that explicitly promotes right-wing values. The arrangement creates obvious conflicts. Club America will register teens and potentially share that information with Turning Point's political operation for campaign purposes. That's not civic education—it's building a partisan pipeline using state resources and the credibility of state offices. Florida, Montana, Nebraska, Texas, and Tennessee have made the same mistake. Indiana shouldn't follow their lead. Either offer identical partnerships to organizations across the political spectrum, or keep voter registration in-house where it belongs. State government must remain neutral in election administration.
