By Scott Martelle -斯科特martelle - Los Angeles Times洛杉磯時報 | 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. |十幾個修女和數目不詳的學生扭頭從調查週二在第一次使用印第安納州的嚴格的選民身份證法，因為這是堅持在上星期由美國聯邦最高法院。
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.修女們，所有的居民，退休在家在Saint Mary的修道院附近的聖母大學，被剝奪了選票，由院士和妹妹調查工人，因為婦女，在其80年代和90年代，沒有有效的印地安那照片的身份證。
Though state officials reported no significant problems, advocates monitoring polling places said there was occasional confusion.雖然國家官員的報導，無顯著性的問題，主張監測投票站的地方說，有偶爾的混亂。
“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. “我們在一個投票站的地方，幾個小時就拿起三個或四個不同的故事，人們正在扭頭說： ”程介南卡爾曼的美國公眾利益研究小組在華盛頓舉行。 “I don’t have numbers about how widespread it is.” “我手邊沒有編號，有關如何廣泛，這是” 。
“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，它使艱苦奮鬥，說： ”妹妹朱莉麥圭爾，誰是工作在投票地點，並解釋修女們，他們不能投票。 “Some don’t understand why.” “有些不明白為什麼” 。
Indiana requires voters who come to the polls show a photo ID issued by the state or the federal government.印第安那需要誰的選民來投票，顯示照片的身份證發出的由國家或聯邦政府。 The law was pressed by Republicans citing voter fraud and opposed by Democrats and the ACLU, who argued that it would disenfranchise voters.該法的壓力，共和黨選民舞弊為由，反對由民主黨和美國公民自由聯盟，誰爭辯說，它將剝奪選民。
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.法律不承認外州駕照，一個問題，大學生誰下，印第安納，法律必須打算住在他們的社區學院進行表決，其中包括獲得印第安納州的ID 。

Hiss declined to cast a provisional ballot because she’s leaving for Illinois after finals on Friday.噪聲下降，投臨時選票，因為她的離開伊利諾州後，決賽對週五。
