GEORGIA Court Dumps Photo ID for Voters

Another important political story today is the decision by a Georgia court to throw out Georgia’s law requiring government issued photo ID to vote. The court said this law would deprive citizens who are legally entitled to vote because they happened to lack the required ID. The litigant is this case was an elderly woman who is nearly blind and could not get to the DMV to obtain an ID card. Congress is considering a law for the whole country similar to the one just struck down.
