Photo ID-Indiana has it for elections

[Skink]

Florida and Michigan also have it. Is that an issue?

1. Depends who you ask, honestly.

If it went all the way to the Supreme Court, I am sure that someone was injured (in some way.)

4. Wasn't there a problem

Back in 2004 with photo ID some other places? I would think that the party has had 4 years to make sure all registered voters have gotten a photo ID. I could be wrong, but it would make sense to not only get out the vote, but make sure that they have a photo ID.

7. I think it was Georgia.

They had an exclusive photo ID just for voting.

(I am pretty sure it was struck down.)

That obviously would place an undue burden on the electorate.

12. When did this change ~ yesterday?

and if I did not have a photo ID, would I have time to get one?

13. I really would have to look at the ruling

As far aa a time-line.

I would assume, though, that you would need a photo-id or lawful equivalent to vote next Tuesday.

It isn't ex-post facto because the law was already in place.

2. I don't know.

Seems like they have had that rule for some time now. I hear some say it helps the republicans in the GE, but I don' see why the dems can't get out and get ID for those that don't have it. If they are registered to vote there should be a list, and all the need to do is start calling and get those with no ID some ID!

As for the primary, I don't know. It might hurt Obama, but I would think that all the newly registered democrats would have had to show ID to register, and I would think they would have had to have a photo ID when they did it, so it might not hurt him that much.

5. IDs are free in Indiana AFAIK

3. It's unconstitutional.

[Indenturedebtor]

8. Not if they're free it's not

And you could use this as a way to get around some other forms of vote caging.

10. It's still unconstitutional. The SC might have the final word, but their not always right. n/t

6. Just in time.

Thanks SCOTUS. Curious as it may be.

11. The dead Constitution era has begun, and the repugs, with the help of Bill, helped kill it. n/t
