Supreme Court may uphold voter photo ID rules
WASHINGTON - There are many ways to lose a Supreme Court case, and by the end of an argument that was before the court on Wednesday, the Democrats who were challenging Indiana's voter-identification law appeared poised to lose theirs in a potentially sweeping way, with implications for many future election cases.
The justices' questioning indicated that a majority did not accept the challengers' basic argument - that voter-impersonation fraud is not a problem, so requiring voters to produce government-issued photo identification at the polls is an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote.
Very good news.
