COMMENTS: Need ID to Exercise Franchise
The decision by the Supreme Court to uphold Indiana's voting laws was a timely one, given that the state's Democratic Presidential primary is a week away. ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg called the restriction "one of the toughest voter ID laws in the country" requiring every voter, even those without driver's licenses such as the poor, the elderly and the disabled, to present a state-issued photo ID card before exercising the franchise. The logic of the 6-3 majority was that Indiana has a "valid interest in protecting the integrity and reliability of the electoral process." NBC's Pete Williams (no link) stated that similar laws in Georgia, Florida and Michigan will now go into effect.
