Lawyers for the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office, which argued in defense of the law, said the state will issue special photo ID cards to registered voters who are unable to get Pennsylvania Department of Transportation-issued IDs, and are also rolling out a public campaign to make sure voters are aware of the change.
Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for the Houston-based election integrity group True the Vote, told TheBlaze they were celebrating the judge’s ruling but not necessarily surprised by it.
“It‘s obviously good news but True the Vote wasn’t really surprised by the ruling, given that Indiana’s voter ID law was upheld by the Supreme Court a few years back,” Churchwell said.
Simpson cited the 2008 Supreme Court decision that upheld the Indiana law, where the justices said the state had a “valid interest” in protecting elections and improving procedures.
