So they basically ruled that the state can require an ID but not a photo ID. Terrific.

Memphis Library cards have photos. That’s why they were accepted, they are “government issued” and have photos.

"The court cited Tennessee case law in finding that the city of Memphis is a branch of the state, so the library card, which was redesigned this year to include a photo, is sufficient for proving identity.

"We note that the Voter Photo ID Act has created much controversy and aroused intense feelings among both its supporters and its detractors. The courts do not question the General Assembly's motives or concern themselves with the General Assembly's policy judgments," the opinion said.
