Supreme Court Hears Voter ID Arguements
The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday on Indiana's law that requires voters to produce a photo I-D before casting their ballots. Supporters say I-D laws help prevent voter fraud, but State Democratic Chairman Dan Parker said Indiana's law is designed to deter Democratic voters. "It's a solution looking for a problem," Parker said, "There is no problem in Indiana with voter impersonation." Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher conceded as much, but added, "This is one piece of the puzzle and one piece of the overall approach to protecting the right to vote and preserving the integrity and confidence in elections." The court is likely to rule in June -- after this year's primary elections but before the general election in November.
