US Supreme Court Upholds Indiana Voter ID Law
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld (pdf) Indiana�s voter-identification law, declaring that a requirement to produce photo identification is not unconstitutional and that the state has a �valid interest� in improving election procedures as well as deterring fraud. EPIC had submitted a brief (pdf) detailing problems with the law. "Not only has the state failed to establish the need for the voter identification law or to address the disparate impact of the law, the state's voter ID system is imperfect, and relies on a flawed federal identification system."
