ACSBlog writes about The Most Important Elections Case Since Bush v. Gore. "The cases, collectively known as Crawford, challenge an Indiana law requiring voters at the polls to provide certain documentation: identification cards with an expiration date and photograph, issued by the state of Indiana or the federal government."
"Enter the Court, again in the thick of a presidential election season, with an opportunity to correct the analysis. The Court will determine whether a law that makes it substantially more difficult for many eligible citizens to cast a valid ballot is toward the ‘severe’ end of the spectrum of First Amendment infringements. And it will determine whether such a law is sufficiently justified by a state’s asserted interest in confronting a hypothetical concern. Bills anticipating the outcome have already been pre-filed in state legislatures, setting the stage for a decision that will shape the electorate, in 2008 and beyond."
