On April 21, the Indiana Supreme Court heard arguments in Snyder v King, 94S00-1101. The Court must decide whether a state law is consistent with the Indiana Constitution. The Indiana Constitution authorizes the legislature to cancel voter registration for those incarcerated for “infamous crime”. The legislature feels this gives it the authority to create a law canceling voter registration for anyone incarcerated, even if only for a misdemeanor. The plaintiff had been locked up for battery, a misdemeanor. The plaintiff had then sued in federal court, and the federal court had then asked the Indiana Supreme Court to interpret whether “infamous crime” can include a misdemeanor.
