A federal judge has ruled that Pennsylvania's harsh voter ID law will not take effect for the November 6th election, but it will go into effect next year.
Perhaps it will be appealed to a higher court for overturn for future elections, but apparently this is definitive for this year. The ruling judge sought and received guidelines for implementation from the Appeals Court and decided that they were not being met, in terms of people getting the IDs.
That's good news. Obama has a comfortable lead in Pennsylvania, but the law was said to effect hundreds of thousands of voters in Philadelphia alone.
