WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights. The decision validates Republican-inspired voter ID laws.
The court vote 6-3 to uphold Indiana's strict photo ID requirement. Democrats and civil rights groups say the law would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots.

I wonder who are the three dissenters; maybe Scalia, Alito and Roberts.
It was a 6-3 decision, with even Stevens agreeing and apparently writing the decision. I understand Scalia wanted even a broader ruling in favor of documentation, God bless him.
Good....
Now this can be used as the standard template across the nation.
As Indianapolis’s 2007 Mayoral Election proves.
VOTER ID WORKS!!!
McCain? Conservative SCOTUS justices? Approved by his liberal Democrat buddies? Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha............
Looks like the libs will be buying Tums for breakfast.
All right! I’m really glad to hear this. All over the country, the Dems are dragging out winos from the local hobo jungle and giving the identities of long-dead grannies. Not to mention the many vacant lots all over the US that are casting a Dem vote every election.
“Supreme Court rules 6 - 3.”
Ya gotta wonder about the three.
Just another mean-spirited plan to intimidate potential Black voters.
As soon as I hit send, I realized should have included /SARC.
I had assumed Ginsburg, Beyer and Kennedy
That is why we have special order 40 I guess.
“Not to mention the many vacant lots all over the US that are casting a Dem vote every election.”
All of those empty lots vote by “Absentee” Ballot now.
It’s a loophole so big you can drive a Democrat Election Van through...
Nope.
Women and minorities AND illegal aliens hardest hit...
I agree, definitely they wouldn't be conservative in the Scalia sense, however they will be MUCH MORE conservative than any justice appointed by either Hillary or Obama. All other nonsence aside, one of these three will be the next president, so I like my chances with a SCOTUS pick or two from McCain, instead of Hillary appointing the 'bent one'
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s very true. We have the technology to match up addresses with valid, inhabited addresses, and I think this is one thing that should be employed. In certain wasteland cities such as Detroit, with multiple winos and crackheads registered to the same non-existent address, the vacant lot vote could be pretty significant.
Do you think this one's good enough?
