Undue Burden
By Pennsylvania’s vote suppression law has been ruled unconstitutional by a state court:
A Pennsylvania judge on Friday struck down the state’s voter ID law, which was signed in early 2012 and is one of the strictest in the nation, ruling that the statute “unreasonably burdens the right to vote.”
“Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the Voter ID Law does not further this goal,” Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard McGinley wrote.
Whether this will be upheld by Pennsylvania’s higher appeals court is unclear, but it’s at least tentative good news.
