Pennsylvania voter ID law sent back to lower court

“We are not satisfied with a mere predictive judgment based primarily on the assurances of government officials, even though we have no doubt they are proceeding in good faith,” the court said in an unsigned opinion.

“If the Commonwealth Court is not still convinced in its predictive judgment that there will be no voter disenfranchisement arising out of the Commonwealth’s implementation of a voter identification requirement for purposes of the upcoming election, that court is obliged to enter a preliminary injunction,” the opinion said.

With stories like the one above provided as evidence, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is going to have a hard time proving that all eligible voters are getting IDs who need them. I would not be surprised at all if this new law gets put down just like the rest of them.
