Court upholds requisite ID at voter polls
“It will give new impetus to our effort to have a moderate voter ID law,” Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour told The Washington Times yesterday. Mr. Barbour, a Republican, has so far been unable to get the Mississippi Legislature to pass such a law.
Elections analysts said they expect other states with Republican legislative majorities or new Republican governors to consider their own laws.
Voting rights groups and Democrats were outraged by the ruling, though with liberal stalwart Justice Stevens writing the controlling opinion, they were hard-pressed to blame partisanship.
