Remember - not a single Dem voted for it.

"Meanwhile, judges have struck down similar laws in Texas, Wisconsin and South Carolina. In line with Republican talking points, Corbett argues the bill prevents voter fraud. However, there is little evidence of voter fraud in Pennsylvania or other states. A five-year investigation by former President George W. Bush’s Department of Justice netted only 86 convictions nationally for improper voting among millions of votes cast. And while there are some instances of “dead voters” and voter fraud due to mail-in ballots, neither of those issues would be resolved with restrictive photo ID requirements.
Additionally, the bill comes with no small price tag—according to a nonpartisan Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center estimate, H.B. 934 will cost taxpayers more than $11 million in the first year alone. At a time when Pennsylvanians are hurting from a 7.7 percent unemployment rate, $900 million in cuts from the state education budget and a $651 million cut from health care and other programs that help the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians, the voter suppression bill seems, at best, a financially irresponsible distraction and, at worst, a blatant obstruction to democracy. The law will be in full effect by this November’s elections.
What has caused the sudden obsession over “voter fraud” that has seized Corbett and other Republican politicians all across the country?
The better question is not “what” but “who.” And for whom.
Enter: the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a 501(c)(3) funded by the right-wing Koch brothers and corporations that bring these corporations together with state legislators to draft laws to benefit the businesses and their friends, often at the expense of working families. These model bills then are handed off to lawmakers to introduce in their home assemblies."
