Judge Rules No Photo ID Required For Pennsylvania Voters This Year
h/t Free Republic.
A Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court judge has ruled that the state’s controversial new voter ID law will stand, but voters without a valid picture ID card will still be able to cast their vote and have it counted this November.
Judge Robert Simpson has effectively decided to postpone 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.

It’s not as if other states haven’t worked with an ID system, providing examples of the risks (to voters), etc. Why is every case in 2012 treated as if it is the first?
And I wonder if the votes from those who do not provide ID will be indicated as such. It would be interesting to see how those votes compare to the larger block.
Now, that rat thar is a good idea…!!!
Even better would be to compare them to vetted voter rolls, and kick them if they were bogus!
