So there's been a lot of sympathy and gnashing of teeth on behalf of the Indiana nuns (one of them 98 years old) who were not able to vote in yesterday's primary because they lacked proper ID.
And hey, it's too bad. Me, though, I have a lot of sympathy for this view (from the article):
"Late Tuesday, Secretary of State Todd Rokita was unapologetic. "Indiana's Voter ID Law applies to everyone. From all accounts that we've heard, the sisters were aware of the photo ID requirements and chose not to follow them," he said in a statement released by his office."
Mr. Rokita is right. The law applies to everyone--even nuns.
