PA Photo ID Law: The State Admits There Is No Evidence Of In-Person Voter Impersonation Fraud

10. All eggs in the Crawford basket

In the Crawford case, the case where the US Supreme Court upheld Indiana's photo ID law, the Court held that it was not necessary for Indiana to show evidence of actual voter impersonation fraud to establish that the law served a legitimate purpose. So I think the Commonwealth is putting all of its eggs in that basket. If the PA court decides (as it should) that Crawford is irrelevant because the petitioners here only are alleging violations of the PA Constitution (whereas the plaintiffs in Crawford alleged violations of the federal Constitution), then I think the law is doomed.
