Summary of the Photo ID Decision

For anyone who would like to read a detailed summary of the opinion denying the request to enjoin the photo ID law without actually reading all 70 pages of it:

Summary of Closing Arguments in PA Photo ID Trial

Better late than never. I finally had a chance to read the transcript of the closing arguments from the Photo ID Trial as well as the parties' post-trial briefs and posted a summary here:

Most interesting, I think, is that the Commonwealth continues to argue that voting is not a fundamental right.

About freeandequalpa

As both a Judge of Election, who is sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of Pennsylvania, and as a practicing attorney, I have a keen interest in the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s Photo ID Law that currently is making its way through the Pennsylvania courts. Unsatisfied with the lack of detail in press reports about the case, I have taken it upon myself to follow and report on the litigation, as well as news about the law generally, through my blog, Free and Equal PA (http://freeandequalpa.wordpress.com/).
