You can find the judge's order here 
<http://www.aclupa.org/downloads/McGinleyPI81613.PDF>. AP story here. 
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/16/pennsylvania-voter-id_n_3769410.html?utm_hp_ref=tw>

While this is not a ruling on the ultimate merits of the case, the 
judge's tone seems to suggest impatience with the state of 
Pennsylvania's ability to actually get id's into the hands of the voters 
that want it.

The implicit assumption inf all of these voter id cases is that the 
state is competent to administer a voter id program. This may not be 
true in Pennsylvania.
