Federal Appeals Court allows Indiana Voter ID law to take effect

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for Indiana’s voter ID law to be enforced once again.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency motion to stay a preliminary injunction against Senate Enrolled Act 10. The law specifies that college- and university-issued identification cards cannot be used for voting.
With the stay in place, Indiana’s voter ID requirements return to full enforcement, limiting acceptable identification to government-issued IDs such as Indiana driver’s licenses.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita praised the decision, calling the law a “commonsense” measure aimed at strengthening election integrity.
Rokita said the law is intended to close potential loopholes, prevent ineligible voting, and ensure that ballots are cast by verified Indiana residents.

I’m ok with limiting gun ownership to Citizens as well, just like voting.

If they have a driver’s license from somewhere besides Indiana, they should be registered there and would be eligible for absentee ballots, right? Otherwise, I would guess that they would be a potential that they could vote in both places if allowed to use student ID’s here and license back home.
