So, the court will likely use what measure or method to determine if
the voter ID law can be implemented without disenfranchisement?
Seems the Supreme Court of PA has already noted that "...both state
agencies involved appreciate that some registered voters have been and
will be unable to comply with the requirements maintained by PennDOT
to obtain an identification card under Section 1510(b). See N.T.
at 713 (testimony from a deputy secretary for PennDOT that “at
the end of the day there will be people who will not be able to
qualify for a driver’s license or a PennDOT ID card”), 749, 772, 810,
995."
So what's left to decide (for the near term)? Or is there really
nothing to decide and the language of what is "instructed" is just
worded that way? Are these "alternate IDs" being given out readily? Do
people know about them?
