The worst.
In the 1920s, Indiana had a governor, Edward L. Jackson, that was an open Klansman.
He supported Prohibition and appointed fellow Klansmen to state offices, including replacing a Senator who had died in office.
When he refused to pardon Klansman and all around awful person D.C. Stephenson for kidnapping, rape, and murder, Stephenson exposed the records he kept showing Jackson had been taking and offering bribes during his time as Governor. He was tried for his crimes, although he couldn't be convicted due to the statute of limitations, and left office quietly in disgrace.
Point being, I consider him to be my state's second worse Governor. Mike Pence is an unmitigated disaster and a truly terrible human being.
