Pennsylvania Judge Upholds Controversial Voter ID Law 
------------------------------------------------------


 
A Pennsylvania judge has upheld a controversial voter identification law
that critics say will benefit Republicans this November. The measure
requires voters to produce photo ID before they can cast ballots.
Opponents of the law had sought to delay its implementation until after
the November 6 elections. The American Civil Liberties Union and other
groups say they will appeal to the State Supreme Court.
