Indiana Court Reinstates College ID Voting Ban Amid Primary Elections
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has reinstated an Indiana law that prohibits the use of public university student identification cards for voting. This decision comes as early voting is underway for the state's May 5 primary election. Previously, a federal judge had blocked the enforcement of this law, granting a preliminary injunction after voter advocates argued that the ban infringed on young voters' rights. The plaintiffs, including organizations like Count Us IN and Women4Change Indiana, along with Indiana University student Josh Montagne, challenged the law. Despite the injunction, the state filed an emergency motion to suspend it, which the appeals court granted, pending a full appeal. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita praised the decision, citing it as a victory for election integrity.
