NDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana tea party group is accusing U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar of voter fraud and wants him removed from the ballot.
Hoosiers for Conservative Senate is asking Gov. Mitch Daniels to act on a complaint over Lugar's residency that was filed in November.
The tea party umbrella group supports state Treasurer Richard Mourdock in the GOP primary that poses Lugar's toughest election challenge in years.
Mourdock held a news conference Wednesday morning in front of the northwest side home that Lugar uses as a voting residence, even though he sold the home in 1977.

The facts in the Wexler case were different.
Gee but the media tells us the TEA party movement is over hmmm whom to believe?
FAct is Wexler didn’t live in his district.
He didn’t run for re-election as a result.
How’s that different??
You might take a real good look at Indiana laws first ~ in these residency cases folks usually run off half cocked before bothering to find out what the code says and what the courts have ruled.
Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Gotta love the Tea Party, only they would go after the Lugar bastard on something like that.
As to Daniels, forget it...he’s all Establishment, which means all Lugar. We know here in Texas, as his (Daniels’) ‘brother’ is our Governor.
In Indiana a ruling by an attorney general said Lugar could reside in D.C. and still Use his original address which is rediculous as he hasn’t lived there for thirty years.
So some old butt boy gives this old fool a homer ruling and it is ok?
So? Do you think that even 50% of the voters care about that? All most people need to hear is that he was using an address that hasn't been his since the 70's, and whether its legal or not it will matter in the voting booth. I think they pulled this out too soon actually, had it been made a big deal of a few days before the primary, legal or not, it could have sunk him.
They don't care ~ and fur shur the folks deciding who can run for office in Indiana DO, so he'll be on the ballot.
Wexler was a different case. The guy was a mad man, not just senile. There are a whole host of interests in Indiana who make a lot of money off the senator's seniority ~ and his staff are busy taking care of those folks.
Are you guys nuts? Nobody gives up a senior senator ~ until he dies.
I think your problem is you believe a Senator should be popularly elected. I, on the other hand, think we should return to the system where the State Legislature choses the Senator.
This system has failed!
I have read the constitution thanks
Personally I think we should go back to where only land owners have the vote
Reminds me of that election in 2010. There we had our greatest electoral victory in history ~ stripping Democrats out of Congress left and right, exterminating that party in numerous state legislature, tossing them from just about every office they held that was up for election ~ and the first thing on the TEA Party collective mind was TO FIRE THE GUYS WHO PRESIDED OVER THE VICTORY.
I tell you, it just ain't right when people don't know how to be winners. I was supporting them on just about everything until we got up to the point where they decided that WINNING IS NOT ENOUGH ~ but of course, WINNING IS EVERYTHING IN POLITICS.
You can't do the job and carry the flag if you aren't in the game. It's better to be in the game than not in it. It's better to win than not win. It's a hard job being a winner and having a winner's mind.
Now you got some people running the Republican party at the top who don't know how to be winners. We had some 10 people who were willing to run for President and pay the filing fees with the party. If they'd been Democrats their party machine would have gone to work going out and making sure ALL of them also met State Primary and Caucus requirements so they could be on those ballots.
Such activity by the party is coincident with the idea that in politics ALL news is good news unless it's about how stupid you are.
So, your TEA Party top dogs here in Virginia didn't like anybody but Romney!
Gad!
The only two we get to vote for are Romney and Paul.
DOUBLE GAD!!!! HAIRBALL PFFFT PFFT SPIT UPCHUCK!!!!
I think you lost my attention way back there when you took away my vote!
Cheating me out of my civil rights is a politically terminal crime.
I don't cotton to Royalists ~
