"AARP survey adds fuel to voter ID debate"

"The head of Indiana's chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons says a new state law requiring Hoosier voters to show a photo ID at the polls could put a burden on older, ailing Hoosiers who don't have driver's licenses.

State AARP director Nancy Griffin says a recent survey by the group found that ten percent of registered Indiana voters age 60 and older lack driver's licenses.

She says she worries the law passed this spring by lawmakers could make it tough for older, sicker Hoosiers to exercise their right to vote.

However, the law's author dispute that."
