Early Voting Begins In N.W. Indiana (GOP to appeal)
GARY, Ind. (CBS) ― Early voting centers have opened in largely Democratic Gary, Hammond and East Chicago. But Indiana Republicans now plan to take their early voting challenge to the Indiana Supreme Court.

Both Democratic and Republican leaders have been battling this issue on different levels of the court system.

A circuit court judge ordered the sites to open Tuesday morning. Later CBS 2 Northwest Indiana Bureau Chief Pamela Jones met with the Superior Court judge who'd originally barred these sites from opening. He told CBS 2 now that people are voting he won't fight that.

Superior Court Judge Calvin Hawkins said he would not intervene following an earlier lower court ruling ordering polling locations be opened Tuesday morning in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago.
