Senile old folks, bums who they'd bus to the voting booths for a pack of smokes, "the poor" who could be convinced that a bottle of beer was worth their vote.
This is why Supreme Court nominations are more important for the purpose of interpreting law, than any other position in the Government.
Proponents argue the law is necessary to help prevent election fraud at the polls. Calling it the latest in a nationwide trend since the controversial Florida ballot counting in 2000, they argued the law effectively combats bloated voter registration lists that could be ripe for abuse.
"The Indiana Voter ID Law establishes reasonable, long-overdue election-security reform in a state highly vulnerable to in-person election fraud," the state's Solicitor General wrote to the Supreme Court.
Opponents, on the other hand, say the law has the potential to unfairly and illegally disfranchise 43,000 Indiana residents who do not or can not obtain a valid government issued identification card. They say this group primarily consists of senior citizens, the poor, homeless, disabled, minorities and people who live in the state's handful of urban areas.
