Area delegates voice support for Harris as DNC virtual roll call gets under way
The Democratic Party is hoping to head into its convention with a new nominee at the top of the ticket, but it will have to go through an unconventional process. On Thursday, the party kicked off a virtual roll call for delegates to cast their votes. They have until Monday to file their ballots. The vote is largely ceremonial, as candidates seeking the nomination had to obtain signatures from 300 delegates by Tuesday.

German American Bancorp has announced it will merge with Ohio-based Heartland BancCorp. You don't have to drive too far in southwest Indiana to run across a German American Bank building.
