Supreme Court Upholds Indiana Voter ID Law
The Supreme Court has upheld Indiana's controversial voter ID law, which critics say will discourage the poor, the elderly and minorities from casting ballots. The law requires voters to present current government-issued photo ID, and for those who cannot, it establishes a procedure for validating votes after election day. The Court found that the state's interest in protecting the integrity of the voting process outweighed the insufficiently proven burdens the law imposes on voters.
