Wonderful news. Now we can have a more truly democratic election here in the keystone this year.

SOS, how many times have you showed your drivers license to someone in the past year or two?

Me? Only whenever I've purchased alcohol. My ability to vote was never in doubt, nor was it at all the point when this thing was passed. I'm much happier for my non-driving grandfather and tens of thousands like him, as well as the other groups negatively affected by this law, like the Amish.

If they're free and relatively easy to get, I think that should be the standard.

But as it would stand they wouldn't be easy enough to educate about and attain. Many elderly, religious, poor, and uneducated Pennsylvanians who deserve to vote would be denied over a made up fear of fraud with the goal of disenfranchising. It's unnecessary and wrong.

They actually have a substitute non photo ID for the Amish.  My father had to get a non driver's license to board a plane; I don't think it is too bad (though I thought the law was too draconian.)
