INDIANAPOLIS - Early voting has wrapped up ahead of Indiana's primary, with the Republican Senate race between Richard Lugar and Richard Mourdock not grabbing voter interest like the Democratic presidential primary did four years ago.
The early voting period at county election offices ended at noon Monday. State figures show that through Friday about 89,000 people had cast ballots for Tuesday's primary.
That's down some 40 percent from the same time ahead of the 2008 primary when Indiana's record for primary voter turnout was shattered after Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton targeted the state in their presidential campaigns.
Lugar is fighting to win the GOP nomination for a seventh term in the Senate against Mourdock, the tea party-backed state treasurer.
