Ben Adler over at the Politico seems to think that turnout in Indiana could be lower than expected due to the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding Indiana’s voter I.D. law. Research from several organizations indicate that the elderly, young people, and black Americans would be most effected by the law. Common Cause issued this statement:
