LAT blasts Supremes

The LAT editorializes this morning against the Supreme Court decision allowing voter ID requirements in Indiana. Fair enough but the LAT ought to argue its case fairly. It doesn't. The LAT qotes from a majority opinion that says "the record contains no evidence of any such fraud actually occurring in Indiana at any time in its history." (The majority opinion is referring to voter fraud, resulting from failure to require voters to provide a proper ID.) The LAT argues this proves there's no problem, because no fraud ever occurred. It's a false argument and the LAT knows it. The majority opinion is saying that no evidence is in the record, not that no fraud ever occurred.
