By James Briggs Verified| IndyStar Verified Few people so bad at politics have made it so far as Gov. Mike Braun. Money can do that for you. It can open doors to halls of power.

Braun in three months as Indiana governor has shown he's as lost and rudderless as he ever was in the U.S. Senate
By James Briggs Verified| IndyStar Verified Sen. Blake Doriot, R-Goshen, authored Senate Bill 10, which bans college students from using school-issued IDs to vote. It awaits Gov. Mike Braun's signature. Now, college students who want to vote in Indiana will need driver's licenses, photo ID cards, passports or military IDs.Progressives have criticized the legislation as another act of voter suppression, pointing to Indiana's poor voter turnout
