Chief Justice Castille is the Pa state Supreme Court Justice who decided to delay the implementation of the voter I.D. law. The liberals insist that the law is racist and will reduce turn out at the polls. Bullshit ... the last state to pass a voter I.D. law saw overall turn out increase as did minority turn out. That state was Georgia. The state of Indiana passed what was called the strictest voter I.D. law in the nation and it to saw turnout increase. The problem the liberals have with the law is it makes cheating just a bit more difficult. In any case he is facing mandatory retirement in 2014 and if re elected will only be able to hold office for less than 14 months.

When Georgia became one of the first states in the nation to demand a photo ID at the ballot box, both sides served up dire predictions. Opponents labeled it a Jim Crow-era tactic that would suppress the minority vote. Supporters insisted it was needed to combat fraud that imperiled the integrity of the elections process.
But both claims were overblown, according to a review of by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of statewide voting patterns in the five years since the law took effect.
Turnout among black and Hispanic voters increased from 2006 to 2010, dramatically outpacing population growth for those groups over the same period.
