If a state office is partnering with a political activist group to register students to vote,

So you've got some top Republican officials in Indy.

They're deepening their ties with the conservative activist group.

Turning Point USA, Secretary of State Diego Morales, he announced a voter registration partnership

with Turning Point's Youth Arm Club America.

He could not race to the podium fast enough.

Governor Mike Braun was going to make an announcement, and he was beat by his own Secretary of State with that announcement.

This partnership is going to host voter registration drives on high school campuses and also promote the states,

Hoosier Hall Pass program that lets eligible teens serve as poll workers.

Now, supporters are going to say that this is encouraging young people to participate in elections.

Sure.

You got critics.

They're going to say it looks like the government picking sides in youth political ecosystem.

But what I think this is doing is it's showing for whatever reason because they need the

voters.

They want to get people encouraged because their polling numbers are not so hot.

The Republicans, they're making an effort to at least meet these younger voters

where they actually are and put boots on the ground for their cause. What I love about this is

the liberals and the Democrats are losing their mind for a lot of the reasons that you just

mentioned, taking a clearly politically affiliated group like TPUSA and bringing them into the

school systems.
