" Q and now to Marion county and Indianapolis were voter registration is really high in fact too high. As we reported yesterday it is that a 105. Per cent so what is the Hoosier state doing to make sure Election Day results are -- Joining us now from Indianapolis -- here is the secretary of state of Indiana top thank you so much Indiana -- a 105%. Of the residents registered any. Call me skeptical but if the dead are voting are we talking about voting fraud here right to be blunt but I mean what order and."
" Well it's not as drastic as that. I think that acorn issue that was just brought up as much more serious in fact -- and we are going to look at this not just Indiana of course it's all over this country. That this organization has try to co -- And and perhaps dropped. The process and and Indiana I'm certainly not going to stand for and I know others won't. In Marion county what what what has happened here. Is that they have done the county level that's the city of Indianapolis. And the bipartisan election board that exists in every county and in our state and and many of the other counties in the other states. That a bipartisan -- has done a very bad. Sloppy. Job of cleaning up their voter rolls. As the secretary of state and and it's really off all of us -- chief election operatives have given our counties the tools. Very powerful tools that they need to help clean up their roles where we compared databases in other voter registration database of the Social Security administration's database. To our department of health database to our department of corrections database. And we flag. Mismatches and possible deceased voters for the county to clean up in Marion county where they did not do their job."
" You know what are the tools that are going to prevents organizations left wing ones like -- from. Essentially going out there I mean I'm hearing stories die in this latest. Voting fraud situation. That they're offering a cigarette if you go and vote in fact -- on -- for those -- think. So then talk about how one woman was actually convinced. To vote twelve times just because she wanted to -- off the back I mean -- is going on."
" Well it's going on because it's. -- now first of others due process under a law now on Indiana if you offer. Someone's consideration. In terms of money or or or other tangible thing. -- either voter register a -- it's a crime you know proving that is another. Story."
" In Indiana our best tool. And I was very pleased that the United States Supreme Court agreed with us through me and it it in this law this photo ID. So you can register as many times you honor whoever you want but at Indiana when you come to vote either absentee in person or at the polls. You have to show that photo ID that I mean one that just seems to me that."
" That's I'm sorry to cut jobs that just seems to be snuffed obviously mean what photo -- photo ID of course I mean why wouldn't you well so you don't you think it's I was doing the other very party."
" That is supporting acorn and that is support this Marion county. Issue of not cleaning up their roles is the same political party that sued me. Several times to stop the photo ideologues and acorn does not only endorsing Barack Obama we should mention that as well. It now understand I don't know this reversal of -- mr. Obama as an attorney for the sake organization. And we've got to get past this and realize that the process is too important. To let these political games take the day drink."
" thank you very much the secretary of state they're in Indiana hope you guys get the fabric owned by November 4."
