The PA Supreme Court rendered a decision on the GOPer voter suppression law. They were hearing an appeal from a lower court which refused to grant an injunction to stop the law from going into effect this November. TPM reports: "In a 4-2 ruling, the justices ordered the lower court to block the law unless Pennsylvania can prove it is currently providing “liberal access” to photo identification cards and that there “will be no voter disenfranchisement” on Election Day. The two dissenters opposed the voter ID law and wanted the Supreme Court to issue an injunction itself."
In other words, the Court of 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans was unanimous that the law is in effect a voter suppression law.
If the Commonwealth cannot prove that voters will not be disenfranchised by this law for the coming election, the lower court is ordered to issue an injunction voiding the law's application for 2012. This court has two weeks to decide.
