Supreme Court Upholds Indiana's Voter ID Law
Today's Supreme Court ruling upholding Indiana's voter identification law is likely to renew debate over whether America's elections are as fair as they should be.
In the court's 6-to-3 decision, the justices kept in a place a state law requiring voters to show identification at the polls—which critics say stymies the poor and minorities. Supporters say these laws help combat voter fraud.
This is hardly the first time voter ID laws have come into question. Controversy over Georgia's strict voting law has held up nominations to fill vacancies on the Federal Election Commission.

Voter ID
When will Americans wake up and realize who is behind this? I for one am tired of the media catering to the millions of Hispanic "voters" who by the way are voting for the first time for "their" issues. Poppycock. They should not even BE in this country voting for "their" issues. This is America and we should be voting for American issues not Hispanic issues or Black issues. Kudos Supreme Court!

Nonsense.....How much does it cost to obtain an ID. Proper ID is the only way to combat voter fraud. It seems that a poor person has no problem obtaining an ID for help programs run by the governmental agencies.
