Pennsylvania Voter ID law is a blatant attempt to suppress the vote

The Pennsylvania Voter ID law will hopefully be put to a merciful end next week by Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson. The Pennsylvania law is one of many new laws across the country passed exclusively by Republican controlled legislatures with one purpose in mind, and that is to suppress the vote of classes of voters who tend to vote Democratic.
Judge Simpson heard seven days of testimony concerning the law, which included some startling admissions from the Commonwealth. Among the eye opening admissions from the Commonwealth are that "(T)here have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states."
