[EL] “Indiana Mayor Re-elected by 1 Vote After Ballot Challenge”

[Robbin Stewart]

I don't know if there were any voter ID issues in this race, but if there
were it might be a good case to file in federal court and try to get a
panel with Judge Posner. He famously said in Crawford that one vote doesn't
matter, but has had second thoughts.

That could be if one or more ballots weren't counted for voter ID reasons
or if any voter were turned away from the polls for not having ID.

The article doesn't mention any voter ID issues and maybe there weren't any.
There were only 245 votes total.

In Indianapolis, one of my roommates was turned away for not having ID. He
went back later with ID.
Another of my roommates cast a provisional ballot which wasn't counted
because she wouldn't show ID. There are some youtube videos documenting her
situation.
I think she,and maybe he, have standing to bring a voter ID case. What they
need but probably won't find is counsel. If any of you are connected with
people who want to litigate voter ID, let's talk more.
