EARLY VOTING CLOSES, TURNOUT UP 54% OVER LAST MIDTERM IN TIPPECANOE COUNTY
The line outside the Tippecanoe County Office Building stretched more than 100 people deep much of Monday morning on the final day of a month’s worth of early voting in the 2026 general election.
Jordan Smith, a Lafayette resident, was tucked into the line ahead of Monday’s noon cutoff at the downtown Lafayette polling place, grabbing that last chance to vote early and in-person ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day.
“Better late than never,” Smith said. “Well, still early. But I’m not sure I’m going to be free to get it done Tuesday. So, you know what I mean.”
By the end, including people who were in line by noon and allowed to stay in line to vote, 596 people had voted over the four hours scheduled Monday at the County Office Building, according to county election office figures.
In all, 26,490 ballots had been cast in-person or by mail in Tippecanoe County since early voting started Oct. 6, according to county numbers.
Of those, 24,911 voted in-person over the past month. That was up 54% over that 16,103 who voted early and in-person in 2022, the most recent midterm election.
In 2022, the most recent midterm election, 39,932 people voted for a 32.1% turnout, according to county records. Of those, 46.6% voted early.

TRIAL THAT SET OFF ALLEGED PLOT TO KILL A TIPPECANOE COUNTY JUDGE POSTPONED, AGAIN
A trial in a domestic violence case that investigators say Thomas Moss conspired with others to sidetrack – allegedly leading to an attempt to kill a Tippecanoe County judge in January 2026 – on Monday was pushed back to April 2027.
Cass County Superior Court 2 Judge Lisa Swaim – assigned to cases involving Moss, a 44-year-old Lafayette man, and those of others accused of being co-conspirators in the judge’s shooting – granted a motion from Moss’ attorney and the prosecutor to hold off on the original case until the attempted murder charges go to trial.
“These two cases are very much interwoven together,” Cassidy Laux, a deputy prosecutor, told Swaim during a Monday morning hearing held in the Tippecanoe Circuit Court courtroom.
