Judge Robert Simpson has effectively decided to block part of the law. Following his ruling, voters will still be asked for a valid voter ID at the poll. But if they dont have it, they will still be able to cast their vote in the usual manner.
The judge suspended the portion of the law that would have required voters without valid ID to cast what is called a provisional ballot, which would not be counted unless the voter could produce a valid photo ID within six days after the election.
Judge Simpson says he viewed the Pennsylvania Supreme Courts recent directive (see related story) as ordering that he sever the illegal portion of the law concerning the provisional ballots.
Todays ruling comes just five weeks before the election (related story). An appeal is still possible.

Judicial tyranny.
The franchise of freedom is in jeopardy.
jmho....
Very, very disappointing. Voter fraud is HUGE in Philly. So, you have to show ID to buy a fricken box of Sudafed, but voting? nah, no problem, we trust you ... aaRRGH!
IMHO, we make it way too easy in this country to vote—especially if its fradulent voting. And fradulent voting is almost never prosecuted. Most Democratic voters wouldn’t bother voting if it inconvienced them in any way.
This judge is apparently a GOP elected official.

There is absolutely no valid reason that votes without IDs can’t go into the provisional pile, to be counted ONLY if the margin of victory is less than the number of provisional ballots.
Wrong link. The right one is:

To the dhimmis voter fraud is an entitlement.
Just like term limits the gatekeepers will decide who/what gets through and that includes BOTH the dhimmis and the GOP.
Read what he's done ...
Now.
PA voters (real, walking dead or cheaters) won’t need ID as of now to vote (for Obama to keep the free goodies).
The Democrats and their tame judges want to win by any means possible and no ID makes fraud easier.
I predicted this weeks ago on here. The only surprise is that the radical leftist judge didn’t wait until 24 hours prior to election day. Now the Republicans have time to appeal I suppose, for all the good that will do.
“Judicial tyranny.”
***
Or judicial cowardice.
What the Hell happened to America...
From your link- Simpson is a Trojan Horse:
“Simpson was nominated by Democratic Gov. Bob Casey to fill a vacancy in Northampton County Court in May 1989 and then was elected to a 10-year term later that year.
Although Simpson was a Democrat, he cross-filed to appear on the ballots in both the Democratic and Republican primaries. He lost the Democratic primary but won as a Republican and went on to win in the 1989 general election.”
Why bother to ask if it doesn’t mean anything?
Sure it ticks me off but in practical sense will it matter for this election? Does anyone think obama won’t gets PA’s electoral votes anyway? It does however facilitate a distortion of the overall nationwide vote.
It’s official. The anointed one is now propped up by his own corrupt judiciary as well as his own corrupt media.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Banana Republic of America
After does not matter. Only now, in this Last Election That Counts. Any subsequent elections will not matter.
This “Judge” has delivered the blow that will allow a flood of fradulent votes to come pouring in. A last minute bit of legal demolition to ensure Il Douche’s victory.
Disgusting.
