U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Election Integrity
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board puts to rest the fallacious and deceitful argument that voter identification is a ploy to deny access to the polls. The Justices recognized that states have a legitimate constitutional interest in utilizing photo identification to secure elections against vote fraud.
“Every fraudulent vote silences the voice of a legitimate voter. The Supreme Court ruling gives the State Legislature a clear opportunity to significantly help stamp out vote fraud, modernize our election system, and win back the public’s confidence in their constitutionally-granted right to vote.
“Election integrity is a top priority for the Texas Conservative Coalition. When the 81st Texas Legislature convenes in January 2009, the Texas Conservative Coalition will lead the charge to require voter identification to guarantee that only legally qualified voters cast ballots on Election Day.”
