      "title": "The Constitutionality of Requiring Photo Identification for Voting: An Analysis of Crawford v. Marion County Election Board",
      "summary": "In a splintered decision issued in April 2008, the Supreme Court upheld an Indiana statute requiring photo identification for voting, determining that lower courts had correctly decided that the evidence in the record was insufficient to support a facial attack on the constitutionality of the law. Written by Justice Stevens, the lead opinion in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board finds that the law imposes only \u201ca limited burden on voters\u2019 rights,\u201d which is justified by state interests.",
