Dutcher Asks, 'LWV To Support Voter ID?'

Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs executive and blogger Brandon Dutcher asks today if the League of Women Voters now will support voter ID legislation in light of the Tulsa World's discovery of the dead casting ballots last year.

"One has to assume the answer is yes," Dutcher blogs. "After all, League spokesman Gloria Caldwell said last month that 'if there were any evidence of voter impersonation in Oklahoma elections, the League of Women Voters would be first in line supporting this kind of [voter ID] legislation, but proponents cannot identify one single case.'

"Now that the Tulsa World has found that as many as 429 dead Oklahomans are still registered to vote, and that as many as 10 have voted postmortem since 2004, surely a League press release is imminent."
