Not So Strong a Case
From the Evening Star
Voter cited by opponents of Indiana’s ID law registered in two states
Monday night from her Florida home, Ewing said she and her husband Kenneth winter in Florida and summer in Indiana. She admitted to registering to vote in both states, but stressed that she¹s never voted in Florida. She also has a Florida drivers license, but when she tried to use it as her photo ID in the Indiana elections in November 2006, poll workers wouldnt accept it.
Seems she’s able to go through the process of getting voter registration in TWO states:
At the Charlotte County, Fla. voter registration office, Sandy Wharton, vote qualifying office manager, said Ewing registered to vote in Charlotte County on Sept. 18, 2002, and signed an oath that she was a Florida resident and understood that falsifying the voter application was a third-degree felony punishable by prison and a fine up to $5,000. Wharton said her office checked Ewing’s Florida residency and qualified her on Oct. 2, 2002. On Oct. 4, 2002, they mailed her Florida voter card to her, to the West Lafayette, Ind. address that Ewing gave as a mailing address.
Maybe it’s not the identity requirement she objects to. It must be a memory problem.
However, Ewing didn’t vote in Florida that year, nor has she ever voted in Charlotte County, Wharton said. But, just a month after receiving her Florida voter card, she did vote in the November 2002 elections in Tippecanoe County, Ind., according to Heather Maddox, co-director of elections and registration in Tippecanoe.
Ewing confirmed that she is registered in both states to vote, but at first said the Florida registration came automatically with her driver’s license. She repeatedly denied signing the oath on the Florida application. She also said Indiana mailed her an absentee ballot, but she didn’t use it or vote that year.
