Judge Rules PA Can't Enforce Voter ID on Election Day



Opponents of a new state law requiring voters to show photo identification at polling places on Election Day are calling it a major victory.
 
A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that the law cannot be enforced, because voters haven't had proper access to the new state-issued photo ID cards. However, David Gersch, an attorney who argued against the law in court, says the issue has not completely been put to rest.
 
 
Groups including the A-C-L-U of Pennsylvania, Advancement Project, and the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, all claim the law would have disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians on Election Day. Those who back the voter I-D law counter that it would help prevent fraud and maintain integrity at the polls.
