MONTGOMERY, Ala — Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced on Tuesday that a federal appeals court has upheld Alabama's voter ID law.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling, siding with the State in a lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of Alabama's voter ID law.
“Opponents have repeatedly argued that Alabama’s voter ID law’s requirement that a voter must provide a photo ID is overly burdensome," said Marshall. "As I have previously stated, Alabama’s voter identification law, by both design and practice, is easily satisfied, and it contains procedures to allow anyone who does not have a photo ID to obtain one. The appeals court in its opinion agreed.”
