Voter ID Law....safeguard or supression?

The Supreme Court is hearing a case on the Indiana Voter ID law today. Under the law, registered voters in Indiana who dont present a valid driver's license or passport would not have their ballots counted.

The Court does not appear to be sympathetic to the concerns expressed by those opposed to the law who believe that it infringes on Constitutional rights.

I share that concern and think its reasonable to assume that this will disproportionately affect the poor, seniors and minorities...all of whom tend to vote more Democratic than Republican.

Will it provide for less voter fraud or suppress a segment of the voting population? You decide.
