Well, there goes any chance of winning PA, folks...
119% Philly turnouts again.
Appeal is possible. The GOP had better get on the stick.
Stand firm and say NO to “liberal fascism”
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
I’m reading elsewhere that he upheld portions of the law. He said that voters should be eligible for alternative state ID’s rather than just those issued by the Transportation dept.
Seems to me that conservatives should now mount court challenges to every state law that requires use of photo identification. Since precedent now appears to have been set.
The fix was in on that one... it always was.
Any appeal?? You know, this is utter bull shiite...seems any attempt to eliminate voter fraud is stopped by Kangaroo judges.
The news that PA requires voter ID has been out there for a year now. Even with this injunction, I doubt that those ineligible to vote would want to chance getting into trouble. It’s been turned into an issue of racism and hammered home to minorities for months to tar and feather Republicans. A last minute change like this will probably not have much effect, IMO. Those who would commit fraud will probably still be intimidated.
Virginia will be next!!!!!!!!!!
I live in PA, and I believe it’s all going to come down to voter turn out. Philly, Harrisburg, and York city are going to go overwhelmingly to Obama. The rest of the state will go to Romney — how heavily depends on how well the Repubs turn out the vote. The state party should be going door to door in “Romney areas” — and so far, all I’ve heard are crickets.
Expect an emergency appeal to the PA state supreme court.
According to the AP article, the voter ID requirement has been suspended only for this election. It will still go into effect next year.
The reason: there have been a lot of problems with the voter-only ID card. People are allegedly having trouble getting the ID.
The judge was not asked to consider the constitutionality of the voter ID requirement, and did not rule on that. He simply said that the requirement was suspended for this election.
It sounds like the responsibility for this mess is squarely on whoever screwed up the implementation of the voter-only ID.
Here’s a link to the ruling itself (pdf file):

I swear, if I ever get another dog, I’m going to teach him to read, then give him a list of Federal judges to bite.
Virginia is next!!!!!!
Check out what he's done his entire career
can anyone spell buttboy ?
Don’t jump to conclusions. The media rarely gets these rulings right in the moments after release.
Let cooler heads read the ruling and interpet it for us so we know the FACTS that the media is too stupid to understand.
There is a fantastic opportunity here. At each polling location, there should be a station to produce a valid state picture ID. Voters who sign a form stating that they don’t have an ID will be sent through the station to have one provided for free.
Of course after the election, the digital list of pictures will be scanned looking for duplicates and violators will be prosecuted for both perjury and vote fraud.
