“Courts Need to Keep a Skeptical Eye on New Voter Identification Laws”

I have written this guest commentary for the Moritz Election Law website. It begins: “If one is looking for a silver lining in the controversy over the firings of 8 U.S. attorneys by the Bush Administration, it is that the controversy has drawn well-deserved attention to the question of ‘voter fraud’ and the extraordinary measures some have used to manipulate election laws for political advantage under the cover of preventing such fraud. Now is the time for the courts to get involved to block new onerous voter identification laws until those supporting such laws can come up with real evidence of voter fraud that an ID would deter.”
