Indiana’s Secretary of State Under Fire About a Tweet

INDIANA, (WOWO): Indiana’s Secretary of State is coming under fire by Democrats about an election-related Tweet sent out on her official office Twitter account.

They’re angry, saying the message posted this past weekend encourages people to like Connie Lawson’s election Twitter account and Facebook page.

Lawson insists she did not type, post or tweet anything and that the message did not originate via her iPhone. She says she was out of the Statehouse on Friday and does not yet know who from her office issued the political message, but she plans to find out.

State ethics rules prohibit executive branch officials and employees from engaging in political activity while on duty or acting in an official capacity.
