Pennsylvania Judge Blocks Voter ID Law for November Election 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Pennsylvania judge has again blocked the state’s election law
requiring voters to show photo identification. Pennsylvania’s law
allowed voting only to those who could produce a state driver’s
license, government employee ID or a state non-driver ID card. It has
been blocked in two prior elections but still remains on the books. On
Friday, Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard Mc Ginley issued a decision
that would prevent the law's use in the upcoming November 5 general
election.
