Crawford v. Marion County Election Board [Ed Whelan]
By a vote of 6 to 3, the Supreme Court has rejected a facial challenge to Indiana’s voter-identification law. I’m returning from a road trip and haven’t had time to read the opinions in the case, so I’ll just note here that the six-justice majority divides between two opinions: one by Justice Stevens, joined by the Chief Justice and Justice Kennedy, and one by Justice Scalia, joined by Justice Thomas and Justice Alito. The difference between the opinions appears to turn on the proper standard for reviewing the law at issue.
