There are 1.2 million more registered Dems than rethugs and the only reason why the rethugs are in there now is because of the 40% turnout in 2010. For the first time in years and years, the head of the state Democratic Party has been out and about on national TV, so the party has finally awoken.
They are this close >< to finally getting an injunction here in PA (testimony resumes Thursday) after the state changed the procedures again, TWICE, while on the stand testifying yesterday in Commonwealth Court. They have now removed some more of the requirements that were needed to get what is now a new special "Voter ID" card that is different from the original "Voter ID" card and they announced that 40 more locations would be opened up for people to get cards the day before the election for last minute requesters. Meanwhile various counties are moving forward with issuing their own cards via senior centers and colleges/universities in their counties due to a loophole in the law.
Supposedly the hearing on Thursday is to decide what the content of the injunction will be (whatever that means - maybe for what and how long).

Of course this is the same ass who cited vagabond laws from the 19th century to keep this crap in place but the whole fiasco has been exposed for the fraud that it is but the issue overlooked is that many of the rethugs live in areas that have no nearby PennDOT office to get a card themselves and I think more and more of these folks have woken up and are realizing it.
