The Congressional Black Caucus Denounces Indiana Voter ID Ruling

May 01, 2008

Washington, D.C. -Today, the Supreme Court, in its unfair, unwarranted, and un-American decision endorsing the alienation of the poor, senior citizens, ethnic minorities and legal immigrants from the electoral process is sad, sordid and shameless,” remarked Congresswoman Carolyn C. Kilpatrick (D-MI), Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.  “In an era of unprecedented voter turnout for our nation’s primaries, there has been not one incident of voter fraud.  Regrettably, and once again, the majority in the Supreme Court has distanced themselves from common sense.  The CBC will fight today’s Supreme Court’s selection of covert and regressive voting suppression tactics over encouraging and stimulation voting by all eligible Americans.”
