[EL] Lead Penn Voter ID Plaintiff gets her ID

[Joe La Rue]

Interesting development in the Penn Voter ID case: the lead plaintiff, who
said she wouldn't be allowed to get an ID, just got
one<http://mobile.philly.com/news/?wss=/philly/news/breaking/&id=166490216&viewAll=y>.


*The day after a judge upheld Pennsylvania's new voter identification law,
the lead plaintiff in the suit seeking to block the law went to a PennDot
office and was issued the photo ID card she needs to vote.*

*Nothing has changed since Viviette Applewhite, 93, testified in July. The
law stands. She still doesn't have a driver's license or Social Security
card. The name on her birth certificate is still different from the name on
her other documents - all of which, under the law, should have barred her
from getting her photo ID.*
*But at precisely 1:16 p.m. Thursday, she got it anyway.*

The State did just what has been saying it would do: it took "age and other
factors into consideration" and got this lady her ID so she could vote. I
wonder if the other plaintiffs might be able to do the same thing?
