A Pennsylvania judge has blocked enforcement of the key section of a voter identification law which the state legislature enacted and Republican Gov. Tom Corbett signed last March, meaning that the law will not be in effect for the Nov. 6 election. Judge Robert Simpson said that even with the streamlined procedures that state officials proposed to make it easier for voters without ID cards to obtain them, “the proposed changes are to occur about five weeks before the general election, and I question whether sufficient time now remains to attain the goal of liberal access” to ID cards. He said, “I expected more photo IDs to have been issued by this time. For this reason, I accept Petitioners’ argument that in the remaining five weeks before the general election, the gap between the photo IDs issued and the estimated need will not be closed.”

To DARE think that requireing and ID to vote is so horrible!!!! It amazes me how you progressives think that it is okay for just anyone to walk in off the street and vote in our elections!
Let me ask you this, "If we had a Republican for a president, would you feel the same way about it?". Your hypocracy and desparation to do "anything possible" to keep the current potus in office is purely mind numbing........

How is it voter supression to make people show their ID and prove that they are really who they say they are to prevent voting fraud? I have never understood the argument against having to show conclusively that you are a legitimate citizen of the U.S. in order to be able to vote. It seems like a no brainer to me.edit on 2-10-2012 by AutOmatIc because: spelling

The voter ID law in Pennsylvania stated that if you're a college student and you don't have a Pennsylvania Driver's License, you could use your college ID as long as it has a current expiration date that hasn't expired. 80% of the colleges in Pennsylvania don't have ID with an expiration date. See how this works?
It's one thing to pass a law requiring voter ID. It's another thing to pass a law requiring voter ID just a few months before an election so some people wouldn't have enough time to get the required ID.edit on 2-10-2012 by Junkheap because: (no reason given)
