Let?s See Some ID

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I just got word the Indiana Supreme Court has upheld the state’s Voter ID is constitutional.  The ruling was 4-1.   I will link the opinion when it becomes available.

I just got this from Indiana Supreme Court…

In League v. Rokita the Court will hand down a 4-1 decision with a dissenting opinion.  The conclusion of the majority opinion reads in part, ?It is within the power of the legislature to require voters to identify themselves at the polls using a photo ID?We affirm the judgment of the trial court granting the appellee’s motion to dismiss and rejecting the plaintiffs’ claims that the Indiana Voter ID Law contravenes Article 2, Section 2 or Article 1, Section 23 of the Indiana Constitution.?
