The judge "found that the civil rights groups failed to show that the law was unconstitutional under all circumstances since it applies to all qualified voters, requiring them to present a photo ID that can be obtained for free".

it doesn't have to be overly burdensome in All cases, just some cases. This is the same rationale they used in the original Poll Tax laws.

1. That photo ID is NOT free in PA. My father-in-law paid $20 for it at the PA DOT office. (nt)

5. The Supreme court will hear this and one Republican on the court recently sided with the Democrats

on re-districting for congressional seats. This judge who handed down this decision today is a registered Republican.
