There's no law in Indiana similar to the Federal laws Clinton was held to. Government officials are not required to use secured government servers like Federal officials must:

At the end of the day nothing comes of this because of the timing of the Russia narrative and at most he's guilty of being a hypocritical politician, which we already knew he was. |
Sorry, but that information is not accurate. Private email is considered a personal information system and Title 4 of Indiana State Law clearly states that Pence was required to use a secured system, had to provide concise activity logs, had to provide the system for inspection, and was subject to data handling requirements. All of the same restrictions which applied to Clinton's email server applies to any government system. Because the Feds share data with state systems, those state systems have to meet the same compliance requirements. Pence may not have received classified information, but he still received information with very specific handling labels, and those labels have very specific handling requirements. Private email servers, or services provided by non-cleared third parties, do not comply with these laws unless cleared by the appropriate administrative body. The information is erroneous mostly because the reporter likely didn't know what they were looking for. They probably did a cursory search for email, which is not the issue. The data and how it is handled is the issue
