Judge Rules Photo ID Won’t Be Required For Pennsylvania Voters This Year

Judge Robert Simpson has effectively decided to block part of the law. Following his ruling, voters will still be asked for a valid voter ID at the poll. But if they don’t have it, they will still be able to cast their vote in the usual manner.

The judge suspended the portion of the law that would have required voters without valid ID to cast what is called a “provisional” ballot, which would not be counted unless the voter could produce a valid photo ID within six days after the election.

Judge Simpson says he viewed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s recent directive (see related story) as ordering that he sever the illegal portion of the law concerning the provisional ballots.

Today’s ruling comes just five weeks before the election (related story). An appeal is still possible.

This judge is apparently a GOP elected official.

I wonder if he's scared to be labeled a racist?

This country could very well be much closer to a second American revolution.

This ruling is truly outrageous! I ‘ve read the articles but I’m not sure if Judge Simpson takes the blame or if the PA Supreme Court does or if they both share it which I suspect is the case.
The worst thing about this is a PA GOP spokeswoman said on radio,ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO. that she was grateful that the law was upheld (that’s right!)and the state GOP was WILLING TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION FOR A FINAL RULING!!!!

Pennsylvania, still home of the gutless RINO party.

I worked the Get Out the Vote here in San Antonio before the primaries. We had phone banks going, then efforting getting Voter IDs for people..we had door to door...then transportation. Next month we will do phone banks, transportation...it is exhausting. This is my last election. We will do door to door to...or at least organizing same.

Put photo of recipients on food stamp cards, and also eliminate that kind of cheating. This is pathetic.
