Briefs are being filed in the Indiana Supreme Court in the case League of Women Voters v Rokita, over whether the Indiana law requiring voters to show government photo-ID at the polls violates the Indiana Constitution. On September 17, the Indiana State Court of Appeals had invalidated the law, so now the Indiana Supreme Court will have the last word.

Amicus curiae briefs against the law have been filed by the ACLU, the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the national League of Women Voters, the American Association of Retired Persons, and the National Senior Citizens Law Center. Also, six political science professors have filed a brief against the law, and another brief was filed by two history professors and a law professor. The role of the history professors is to shed light on the intent of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention that wrote Indiana’s Constitution.

No amicus brief was filed in support of the law. All these briefs may be read at the Moritz Law web page, at this link.
