"His military discharge papers feature a paragraphs worth of honors and
awards, like the national defense service medal, the Vietnam service
medal with two bronze service stars, the combat/infantry badge and a
purple heart for being wounded during combat.
So when Baughman arrived at his polling place at precinct 52 in Lawrence
March 11 for the special election, he wasnt expecting to have a problem
voting in the country he had defended.
But since Indiana passed its new Voter ID law, which requires every
voter to have a valid, government-issued photo ID, Baughmans
identification was no longer good enough.
He had with him his expired drivers license (he rides a bicycle), his
Department of Veterans Affairs card (featuring his purple heart
endorsement) and, of all things, his voters registration card.
But Baughman was told that neither of his photo IDs were valid. His
drivers license didnt count because it was expired and his Veterans
Affairs card didnt count because it didnt feature any expiration date
at all.

They are the ones who supported passage of the law in question.

It made certain assumptions about your general knowledge. Maybe you can
get google-translate to translate it into Moronese for you.

The law was not suspended until the USSC heard the case and made the decision?
And if you are referring to the primary, are the parties obligated to follow
the rules for a general election? After all, the caucuses disenfranchise many
voters, as did the Obama sponsored rules to completely ignore the FL and MI
voters.

Did you go to the linked site? I just quoted the story of the veteran;
there was setup and followup that talked about the history of the law
in question.
