As PFAWF has previously noted on Court Watch, the Supreme Court this term will be hearing an important case challenging the constitutionality of Indiana's restrictive voter ID law, which unnecessarily burdens the rights of eligible voters, particularly minorities, the elderly, students, women, and the poor, without justification. On November 13, PFAWF joined other civil rights organizations in filing an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in support of those challenging this law.

Court to Consider Constitutionality of Indiana's Voter ID Law
Fri, 09/28/2007 - 2:07pm — Judith
This week, the Supreme Court added 17 more cases to the 26 it has already agreed to hear during its upcoming term, which starts on Monday, October 1. Among the newly-added cases is one that is likely to have far-reaching consequences on the abllity of many Americans to be able to go to the polls on election day and cast a vote. The case, Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, is a challenge to the constitutionality of Indiana's voter ID law, which requires voters to show a current, government-issued photo identification at the polls in order to be allowed to vote, allegedly to combat voter fraud.
