| Description | AS WAS predicted by local political bosses, Pennsylvania's tough voter-ID law was put on hold today. To the dismay of local conservative talk-show hosts, who were roaring on Lexington's hire-car radio about "Judge Chickenhawk" permitting the dead to vote in the Democratic stronghold of Philadelphia, Judge Robert Simpson ordered that a new requirement to show a valid identity card with photograph and expiry date before voting should not take effect before the elections on November 6th, for fear that legitimate voters might not be able to secure the right ID cards in time.
Your reporter, who is in Pennsylvania again researching a couple of pieces, can report that the ruling—while angering many Republicans—will be greeted with relief within at least one staunchly conservative voter block: the Amish of Lancaster County. |
