Voter ID Upheld

Marion County Board, 553 US __ (2008) will end up disenfranchising otherwise eligible voters who do not possess government-issued ID -- such as poor, elderly and disabled individuals -- will be quickly tested in next week's presidential primary in Indiana. For a discussion of the opinion, see articles in the New York Times and The Boston Globe.
