Arizona does not observe DST, either. The whole state is in the same time zone though, so it is less confusing than Indiana.
The main reason that Indiana has been resisting daylight "savings" time all these years is because it is physically in the Central time zone, but it is legally in the Eastern time zone. Because of this, most of the state is basically already on DST year round. If the US Congress does not change Indiana's time zone to Central then they will be on "double daylight" time next summer. Sunset would be very late in June and July, and sunrise would be very late in April and October.

(Parts of Indiana are in Eastern and do not adjust for DST, other parts are
in Eastern and do adjust for DST, and parts are in Central and those do
adjust. recently the Indiana legislature voted to use DST for the whole
state, but part of the state will still; be Central while the rest will be
Eastern.
