Voter cited by opponents of Indiana's ID law was reported to be registered in two states. Today it was reported that one of the individuals used by opponents to the Indiana Voter ID law as an example of how the law hurts older Hoosiers is registered to vote in two states. Faye Buis-Ewing, 72, has been telling the media she is a 50-year resident of Indiana, but has since admitted to registering to vote in both Florida and Indiana. In November 2006, Buis-Ewing tried to use her Florida driver's license to vote in the Indiana elections. When poll workers informed her that she could not vote without a valid Indiana photo ID and offered her a provisional ballot, she declined. Subsequently, the Indiana League of Women Voter's trumpeted Ewing's case to the media as an example of disenfranchisement under Indiana's voter ID law, and New York University's Brennan Center for Justice cited Ewing's case in a "friend of the court" brief filed with the Supreme Court in opposition to the law. KPC News has more on the story here.
