"Republicans limiting early voting in Marion County, letting it bloom in suburbs"
"State and local Republicans have expanded early voting in GOP-dominated areas and restricted it in Democratic areas, an IndyStar investigation has found, prompting a significant change in Central Indiana voting patterns."
"From 2008 to 2016, GOP officials expanded early voting stations in Republican dominated Hamilton County, IndyStar's analysis found, and decreased them in the state's biggest Democratic hotbed, Marion County."
"That made voting more convenient in GOP areas for people with transportation issues or busy schedules. And the results were immediate."

If you need to ask yourself why the State of Indiana would do this, it's pretty obvious;
"In November 2008, Barack Obama was elected president and was the first Democrat to carry the state of Indiana since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 — heavily supported by Lake and Marion counties, which both have large, Democratic, African-American populations."
