Crawford v. Marion County Election Board

From the Washington Post: "The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that states may require voters to present photo identification before casting ballots, opening the way for wider adoption of a measure that Republicans say combats fraud and Democrats say discourages voting among the elderly and the poor."

Supreme Court issued a joint opinion yesterday for Crawford v. Marion County Election Board and Indiana Democratic Party v. Rokita.
