Скачать или смотреть Tova Wang: Overview of state voter-ID laws

Tova Wang, Democracy Fellow, The Century Foundation, reviews state voter identification laws, with a special focus on Indiana.

On January 3, 2008, ACS hosted a press briefing on the Supreme Court cases, Crawford v. Marion County Election Board and Indiana Democratic Party v. Rokita, both of which concern the constitutionality of an Indiana statute mandating that in-person voters produce government-issued photo identification. Experts from a variety of perspectives discussed the justification for the Indiana law, the burden that it may place on potential voters, the standard for reviewing the law, and the possible impact of a Court decision on future voting rights challenges. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral argument on these cases on January 9th.
