PENNSYLVANIA
VOTER ID LAW
STRUCK DOWN
POINTERS
HUFFINGTON
10.07.12
One more swing state setback for Mitt Romney: a lower court
judge has ordered that a controversial voter identification
requirement in Pennsylvania be postponed until next year.
The law, which would have required registered voters to
show a valid photo ID to vote in the presidential election, has
become a lightning rod in the debate over voter suppression
attempts. While Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett claimed the
six-month-old law was designed to prevent voting fraud,
the Republican majority leader of the Pennsylvania House
bragged in June that the law “is going to allow Gov. Romney
to win the state of Pennsylvania.”
