Mitch Harper files in the right district beats out Ronald Buskirk who filed in the wrong district

Mitchell Harper escaped a challenge by Ronald Buskirk. Mitch Harper will be the lone republican seeking the republican nomination for city council 4th district. It appears that all the shining comments from the party chair about the Buskirk's name won't help Ronald Buskirk in the fifth district. Buskirk does not live in the fifth according to the voting registration records but the fourth district. Buskirk would have had to run in the fourth district city council race. This may lead to a challenge that must come from the voters.

Harper reports Buskirk filing and even Buskirk bio. but not the fact that Buskirk papers were for the wrong district. That Mitch Harper over at FWOB can be a sly one if you don't watch him very closely. H/t to Indianapundit.

Several potential candidates were surprised by who they wanted to challenge was not their representative. Some potential discovering they were not in the district they thought they were in either withdrew their names or decided to run for an at large candidate seat.

If the potential candidates are confused about their district can you imagine the number of voters who do not know who their representative is. Matter of fact, some of the current representatives are unaware of their boundary. So much for an informed electorates under the redistricting administrated by their council representatives.
