The four-person Indiana Election Commission voted Thursday to deny a challenge against Allen Superior Judge Kenneth Scheibenberger, which means he remains on the fall ballot.
A group of citizens who filed the complaint said Indiana law governing the selection of Allen Superior Court judges prohibits people from running for election if they have had any Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission action.
The law is unique to Allen and Vanderburgh counties.
"I'm relieved. You never know what's going to happen," Scheibenberger said after the hearing. "This is going to fuel my vigor to go out and campaign to show who is the best candidate."
Scheibenberger has argued the law does not apply to him because he was disciplined as a judge, not as an attorney.

Disciplinary action as a lawyer or judge, should not matter.
Either you are a man of integrity or you're not.
Obviously Scheinberger IS NOT.
