Voter Fraud: Picture This
U.S. Supreme Court: Crawford v. Marion County Election Board
The Supreme Court of the United States upheld Indiana’s Voter ID law which requires voters to present a current government-issued photo identification before they vote. The stated purpose of the law is to protect the integrity of the election process. The court thought this was a reasonable approach to the problem of potential voter fraud and presented a minimum burden to voters, given the use of photo IDs in other areas of our lives. About 20 other states have similar laws on the books. So far, New York does not. Are we next?
