By Scott Martelle -斯科特martelle - Los Angeles Times洛杉矶时报 | A dozen nuns and an unknown number of students were turned away from polls Tuesday in the first use of Indiana’s stringent voter ID law since it was upheld last week by the US Supreme Court. |十几个修女和数目不详的学生扭头从调查周二在第一次使用印第安纳州的严格的选民身份证法，因为这是坚持在上星期由美国联邦最高法院。
The nuns, all residents of a retirement home at Saint Mary’s Convent near Notre Dame University, were denied ballots by a fellow sister and poll worker because the women, in their 80s and 90s, did not have valid Indiana photo ID cards.修女们，所有的居民，退休在家在Saint Mary的修道院附近的圣母大学，被剥夺了选票，由院士和妹妹调查工人，因为妇女，在其80年代和90年代，没有有效的印地安那照片的身份证。
Though state officials reported no significant problems, advocates monitoring polling places said there was occasional confusion.虽然国家官员的报道，无显着性的问题，主张监测投票站的地方说，有偶尔的混乱。
“We were at one polling place for a few hours and picked up three or four different stories of people being turned away,” said Gary Kalman of the US Public Interest Research Group in Washington. “我们在一个投票站的地方，几个小时就拿起三个或四个不同的故事，人们正在扭头说： ”程介南卡尔曼的美国公众利益研究小组在华盛顿举行。 “I don’t have numbers about how widespread it is.” “我手边没有编号，有关如何广泛，这是” 。
“It’s the law, and it makes it hard,” said Sister Julie McGuire, who was working at the polling place and had to explain to the nuns that they could not vote. “它的法律，它使艰苦奋斗，说： ”妹妹朱莉麦圭尔，谁是工作在投票地点，并解释修女们，他们不能投票。 “Some don’t understand why.” “有些不明白为什么” 。
Indiana requires voters who come to the polls show a photo ID issued by the state or the federal government.印第安那需要谁的选民来投票，显示照片的身份证发出的由国家或联邦政府。 The law was pressed by Republicans citing voter fraud and opposed by Democrats and the ACLU, who argued that it would disenfranchise voters.该法的压力，共和党选民舞弊为由，反对由民主党和美国公民自由联盟，谁争辩说，它将剥夺选民。
The law does not recognize out-of-state driver’s licenses, a problem for college students who under Indiana law must intend to live in their college communities to vote, which involves obtaining an Indiana ID.法律不承认外州驾照，一个问题，大学生谁下，印第安纳，法律必须打算住在他们的社区学院进行表决，其中包括获得印第安纳州的ID 。

Hiss declined to cast a provisional ballot because she’s leaving for Illinois after finals on Friday.噪声下降，投临时选票，因为她的离开伊利诺州后，决赛对周五。
