On April 28th, the United States Supreme Court, by a 6-3 decision, ruled in favor of election integrity by affirming the constitutionality of Indiana’s photo identification law.  In doing so, the Supreme Court rejected specific claims that requiring photo identification is an undue burden on individuals wishing to exercise their right to vote.

I want to take a quick moment and share with you a very special day that I experienced this week in Austin.  On Wednesday, July 18, my good friend Phil Wilson was sworn in as Texas’ 106th Secretary of State, and I was honored to serve as Master of Ceremonies.
