Corbett also said “99 percent of Pennsylvanians already had valid identification, and those who did not could get one for free at state Department of Transportation driver license centers.”

Another important safeguard: “Voters seeking to vote by absentee ballot must provide their driver’s license number; the last four digits of their Social Security number or a copy of a photo ID when applying for an absentee ballot. The identification must be verified by the county before a ballot is counted.”

The usual vote fraud deniers – ACLU, NAACP, et al – are tripping over themselves on the way to a lawsuit, claiming as always disenfranchisement of the vulnerables and (gasp) long lines at the polls. Inconvenience, however, is an argument already shot down by SCOTUS.

About a possible DOJ challenge, Corbett says succinctly: “The Justice Department has put its two cents in on a lot of things lately,” he said. “The law has been passed. If someone wants to challenge it, we will defend it.”
