A Pennsylvania judge has struck down 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. But on Tuesday, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson ruled the state does not have enough time to adequately provide ID to all those who need it in time for the November 6 election. The law was among the strictest to pass as part of a nationwide effort critics say is aimed at disenfranchising lower-income residents and people of color, who tend to vote Democratic. After its passage earlier this year, Pennsylvania’s Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai had predicted the law would help Romney win the state. Although the law won’t take effect now, Tuesday’s ruling does pave the way for its use in future elections.
