Indiana Nuns, Problems w/ Voting at Polls

Video Info

Description:

There were problems with the primaries in Indiana. Twelve nuns were not allowed to vote because of Indianas strict new law requiring a valid, current photo ID in order to vote. Seven percent of Americans lack the required paperwork to prove citizenship, which is required to get a government issued ID in many states. Strict laws that require these documents at the polls disenfranchise voters and are a solution in search of a problem. Voter impersonation fraud was documented only 24 times from 2002 to 2005 throughout the country. The primaries in Indiana did not go off without a hitch. All Americans have the right to vote, even if they dont have access to a valid, current photo ID. Our democracy works best when all Americans participate.
