 Donnie Burgess, Network Indiana. Turning to Michiana's election headquarters, the St. Joseph County Election Board has ruled against Penn-Harris-Madison school board candidate Ben Dallas, who is trying to go by the name Ben Dallas Maga on the ballot. WSBT reports Dallas pointed at a rule that allows a candidate to use a nickname, but the election board countered that he filed incorrectly using two nicknames. Dallas decided to drop his candidacy, but says he's looking into the appeal process.
