From a reader:

Jonah,
The Post may think this is a big deal, but everybody here in the 7th
District of Indiana knows damn well Julia pulled that stunt on
purpose. FWIW, the story is not entirely correct: In the event, she
was allowed to vote a provisional ballot, and she later provided the
County Clerk proper ID to validate it.
The complaint about how Indiana’s Voter ID disenfranchises the poor
and elderly is ridiculous on its face. By law, the Bureau of Motor
Vehicles MUST provide a state picture ID free to anyone who can’t
afford it (and who can prove they’re who they say they are, of
course, which isn’t that difficult). And folks who live in nursing
homes that are designated as polling places don’t have to show ID at all.
Julia’s “uh oh” moment was meant, purely and simply, to play into the
anti-ID crowd’s hands.
She’s as much of an embarassment here as Cynthia McKinney is in
Georgia. The difference is that McKinney is insane. Julia is just
maliciously devious.
If she gets beaten here by her Republican opponent, BTW, it won’t be
because the party gave him any assistance. Eric Dickerson beat the
slated candidate in the primary and the party has ignored him ever
since. And depending on local Republican GOTV efforts and the depth
of Democratic complacency, he just might sneak past her next Tuesday.
