HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A judge on Tuesday blocked Pennsylvania's divisive voter identification requirement from going into effect on Election Day, delivering a hard-fought victory to Democrats who said it was a ploy to defeat President Barack Obama and other opponents who said it would prevent the elderly and minorities from voting.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson said in his ruling that he was concerned by the state's stumbling efforts to create a photo ID that is easily accessible to voters and that he could not rely on the assurances of government officials at this late date that every voter would be able to get a valid ID.

Judge Simpson first ruled in favor of the Pennsylvania ID law, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sent the decision back to him saying he must find against unless he can demonstrate no Pennsylvania voter would be disenfranchised by the law. The reluctant Judge Simpson’s new finding is this: Voters can be asked for a photo ID but they cannot be prevented from voting if they don’t have one.

So if you’re a Pennsylvania voter, you may be asked for a photo ID. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED. If you don’t have one, INSIST ON A BALLOT. YOU CANNOT BE PREVENTED FROM VOTING ON THE GROUNDS OF NOT HAVING A PHOTO ID.

Hold the party favors and champagne all you MSNBC zombies and half truthers. Let's tell the entire story......the constitutionality of the photo ID law was upheld. Read that sentence again. What the judge was concerned about was the rate photo ID's were being issued and the pending upcoming election. Seems reasonable given the calender....So...if you're not legal, not who you say you are, just dropped in from a distant planet, or the dog ate your license, you have one election left to participate....enjoy !

So it looks like a decision we all can enjoy. Thanks for the bump.

Usually, I just respond to other people's threads, but there's something important that needs addressed.

If you live in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Lousiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Dakota or Tennessee and want to vote this year, make sure you have current valid photo ID, as it is now required in these states. Make sure your friends and family have ID as well.

This is especially critical if you live in one of these states that could go either way in this year's election. (Let's face it, we already know how Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee will be voting)

Also, if you live in Florida, make sure you are still registered to vote. They've been purging people from the rolls for political reasons.

Pass it along.

(Yes, this should probably go in the politics forum, but who actually goes there?)
