"Even the lawyers who took the Indiana case before the Supreme Court were forced to say that only Democrat voters would be affected by the need for ID."

I don't understand this. If everyone has to show ID, why does it only "affect" democrats?

January 9, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Indiana Democratic Party v. Todd Rokita and William Crawford v. Marion County Election Board cases.

Here is an interesting factoid regarding the Indiana voter rolls:

p18:

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, so do the
voting rolls. I thought the district court found 41 —
MR. SMITH: No, no. The population —
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Mr. Smith.
MR. SMITH: So sorry.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: — 41.4 percent of
the people on the voting rolls in Indiana were either
dead or they were duplicate entries.
