Appeals Court Upholds Indiana Law Requiring Voters Show ID

by on

[FindLaw reg. req’d to view this decision – William Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, January 4, 2007]

  • “Federal appeals court Judge Richard Posner affirms an Indiana law requiring voters to show a photo ID before they can vote in an election, concluding that the law was rationally related to the legitimate government interest of preventing voter fraud. A dissenting opinion by Judge Terence T. Evans rejected that reasoning, arguing “that Indiana’s law imposes an undue burden on a recognizable segment of potential eligible voters,” violating the constitutional rights of voters under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.” [FindLaw]
