New PA voter ID law in effect for November 2012: ALL voters will be required to show an unexpired photo ID before voting at a polling place.

PA is 82% white. I can understand the coal miner/factory worker voting for the traditional 1950s Democrat party, which is now the Republican party, but not why they'd vote for an out-of-the-closet homo-socialist party. Barky is no longer the blank canvas people can project whatever they want onto.

The voter ID law was the "compromise" for not changing the electoral vote allocation system (2 for the statewide winner, 1 for the winner of each congressional district) when the GOP could have done so last fall.

We had solid majorities in both houses and a GOP governor committed to signing it into law if passed.

The main thing which stopped it was last minute arm twisting by GOP Chairman Rob Gleason who feared it would dilute his standing in the national party.

Ask yourself what kind of idiot throws away 10-16 electoral votes in any close election in exchange for all 20 in an occasional blow-out election where they wouldn't be needed anyway.

Gleason needs to be told by the GOP rank and file that he is gone if Pennsylvania fails to deliver 20 GOP electoral votes in an economy this week and a Democrat President this bad.
