Ball State baseball suffered a disappointing sweep last week against Miami of Ohio. But Voice of the Cardinals Mick Tidrow told “Delaware County Today” there’s a real opportunity for the team to bounce back starting today with a series against Akron beginning on WMUN.
“I see it as an honest mistake. I have reached out to the (Delaware County Democratic) party–it was an expensive snafu… inadvertently caused when they had to do a second run of the door hangers because of a printing error on the other side of the door hanger, and they did not notice the omission of a required disclaimer on the second run until I called it to their attention.” Words provided by President of the League of Women Voters of Indiana, Linda Hanson, she continued – “They (the Delaware County Democratic party) have provided a full explanation of how it happened and apologized. That is sufficient. My response would have been the same had it been a Republican snafu.”
It all started Monday, when we were asked by Muncie residents that were receiving door hang-tags in neighborhoods about Vote Centers. On one side is the League of Women Voters logo and QR codes – and on the other side is an ad for the Delaware County Democratic Party. It appeared to some that the non-partisan group was showing support to one party because of a missing disclaimer that the League did not provide funds for the piece, saying “Information provided as a voter service. No funds were provided by LWV-MDC.” Earlier this week, Hanson provided a statement to Woof Boom Radio news – see that again on our Local News page now.’The League of Women Voters of Muncie-Delaware County provided the same information about vote centers to both parties. When vote centers were finally approved in September 2025, the League promised Rick Spangler, our County Clerk, that we would make every effort to inform all voters in Delaware County about our new vote centers. We posted information and an interactive map on our website immediately, and created QR codes for handouts. When the clerk’s postcard and interactive map were ready, we created a QR code for the county’s interactive map and included it on flyers and business cards. We gave copies to both party chairs to distribute. That’s the information used on the door hangers. The statement that was approved on the “proof” of the door hangers is “Information provided as a voter service. No funds were provided by LWV-MDC.”
