Indiana Secretary of State Sued Over New Law Banning Use of Student ID’s as Voter ID’s

Two voting rights groups and an IU Bloomington student are suing Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales over a newly enacted bill prohibiting college students from using a student ID as a form of identification to vote.

The groups claim the law is unconstitutional and unfairly targets a youth population.

Voting rights groups not involved in the lawsuit argue that there is no evidence of student voter fraud under the previous law.

Critics of the new law, including the League of Women Voters of Indiana, believe it discriminates against a specific group of voters and could lead to lower voter turnout in the state.
