If this is enacted, Indiana will be sued.
NEW: Indiana already has stringent voter ID rules... & the GOP is advancing a bill right now to strip university IDs from the list of options you can use.
This would make it much harder for students to vote.
At polling site at IU Bloomington, 2/3rds of voters in November used their student IDs.
