New Lawsuit Blasts Indiana for Banning Student IDs at the Polls

Indiana’s bid to make it harder for college students to vote is being challenged in court.

Last month, Gov. Mike Braun (R) signed into law Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which bans the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. A new lawsuit calls this a “surgical attack” on student voting access as Indiana continues to allow other, less secure forms of voter ID. 

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which include Women4Change Indiana, Count Us In and one student voter, claim the new law is targeted and discriminatory.
