Indiana Photo-ID Case Argued in 7th Circuit

On October 18, the 7th circuit heard oral arguments in Crawford v Rokita, the case over Indiana’s requirement that voters must produce a government photo-ID in order to vote at the polls. Those who don’t possess such ID may vote provisionally, but must return within 10 days to show such ID. The three judges were Richard Posner, Terence Evans, and Diane Sykes. Judge Posner was bothered by the fact that none of the plaintiffs actually lacks the needed ID. On the other hand, Judge Evans was bothered by the fact that Indiana’s attorney could not name one instance in Indiana at which someone had ever impersonated a voter.
