I really wonder if the Republicans will ever confront this issue even if they have the power after the election? Why is this even an issue? A constitutional law is in order. Let's see if any elected official has the ba**s to suggest it.

"Controversial new voter ID law"? If the "court" will allow those without ID to VOTE anyway, WHAT's the POINT? Judges on Courts like this one are the result when Republicans are too timid to fight against leftist-judges-for-life-candidates put on the Court by demonrats. God help this Country!

Pennsylvania always has been quite good at electing the best judges money can buy.

But what about the men who decide that they are really women who show up to vote looking not at all like the driver's license photo!?!?!?

It is simply incredible that any rational person would object to user-friendly voter ID laws to prevent fraudulent voting unless they believed the latter benefited their cause. The response of the judiciary to this common sense measure has in many venues been disappointing - in fact, appalling.

The longer and louder Democrats object to reasonable voter ID the more obvious it appears that they simply do not desire to reduce voter fraud because they think they stand to lose if illegal voting is curtailed. The only other plausible explanation I can think of for Democrat opposition to voter ID would be that they think a substantial portion of their supporters are too lazy or mentally incompetent to take the simple steps required to obtain valid ID. Neither scenario speaks well for Democrats. They are not, of course, mutually exclusive.

I believe the two commonwealth court judges are in contempt of court. The Pa supreme court remanded with specific tasks for the commonwealth court to do.
This just kicks the can down the road. Whole lot of that with democrats, and some republicans...

Just came from the doctor - had to show an id. They must be suppressing patients. This now opens the way for the emerging clone of Acorn to get to work. In the 2004 election a voting machine in the Philly area had 35,000 votes for John Kerry in it when the polls opened in the morning. This is the Democrat way(aka the Chicago way).

As a Central PAer with little more than disdain for Philly for what it has become and seems to stand for, why haven't the wussy repubicrats (!) ever tried to clean-up the sewer that is Philly voting practices? I know why the RATS are happy---

This is what you get with Liberal UNION controlled Judges -- absolute corruption.

This is sickening. Provisional ballots have been used for decades when a person shows up and is not on the registered list for a precinct.

The real vote fraud won't take place at the polling places - it'll be via mail-in ballots.

Still, the judge isn't exactly Solomon here; why is voter ID acceptable for next year, and not now?

We have reached the point where the entire focus of the nation has turned to coddling the people who are too lazy to do the simplest tasks to function in a modern society. Every issue is centered around those who are bringing this country down, rather than the ones making it work and prosper. Before long the government will be sending out folks to wipe the butts of the "poor" who couldn't be expected to put out the effort on do it themselves.

How special, another judge to impeach and remove from office!

I wonder if a picture ID was needed to get an ObamaPhone? Another question to ponder -- Who paid for the ObamaPhones???

hahahah usmc, we all did! Check your bill, there is a line I believe Federal Universal Service Charge. My monthly bill on cell is $1.77 plus house phone plus wifey's cell! Aren't we just the best folks on duh planet! s/o. I assume this is what is is for.....

Why does this make me think that there is going to be MASSIVE voter fraud this election?

Well that locks up PA's electoral votes for obumbler now.

So, I guess buying alcohol without proving age is OK? Driving without a license is OK? Whoa -- flying a plane without a pilot's license? That one oughta draw some attention [to the smoking craters]. Prescribing drugs without an MD? How about arguing cases without passing the bar? [See Massachusetts for a recent precedent.] Sealing engineering drawings without a PE?

Well, Judgie-poo?

Curious, what if a man shows up and requests a ballot belonging to a woman - say his mother - claiming to be that woman? Or is that an overreach - even for a Dem?

Purple dye in the interim.

Well, it looks like the vote count in Philadelphia can exceed the number of registered voters again.

We anticipate massive voting fraud just like in 2008.

We will be as prepared a possible but I cannot but wonder why the decision came down today ........ enough time to get MORE fraudulent voter registrations in before the deadline next Monday at midnight.

Note
In 2008 an estimated 75% of the voter registrations turned in by Acorn were found to be fraudulent ..... We will never know how many were not identified and got through.

I have always said we need to get at least an additional 10-15% of the votes for a candidate to win an election here.

Amazingly the Justice Dept and D Judges are MORE interested in identifying ONE Single voter who might be denied the right to vote than side with the hundreds to thousands of REAL voters who's votes are regularly being negated by 'voting fraud'.
