Voter ID Law to be Argued

Democrats plan to urge a federal appeals court today to overturn a state law that requires Hoosiers to show photo identification before they vote. The state attorney general’s office will ask the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago to uphold the law. Democrats claim that the law unfairly affects the poor, minorities, people with disabilities and the elderly who may struggle to obtain a photo ID. Republicans say the law is designed to prevent voter fraud.
