...presumably most Democratic--voters. Five states today require a photo ID at the polls (Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, South Carolina and South Dakota), and seven more have considered such a requirement this year. In the past two weeks alone, photo-ID bills have been signed into law in Georgia and Indiana; killed in committee in California; and vetoed in Wisconsin by Governor Jim Doyle, a Democrat. Doyle insists the bill "has more to do with politics than ... with fraud." In Georgia, G.O.P.

Evangelical student leaders at Indiana University estimate that fewer than 5% of the 30,000 undergraduates participate in one of the campus's Christian groups.
