Supreme Court Sends Voter ID Back To Lower Court

By a 4-2 decision, the PA Supreme Court ordered the Commonwealth Court to take another look at the case to determine if the alternative forms of identification that the state has made available comply with the law's requirement of "liberal access."
           The court's ruling said that if the Commonwealth Court is unconvinced about whether any voters will be disenfranchised, the court is obliged to block the law from taking effect on November 6.
           Commonwealth Court was ordered to report back on its findings by October 2.
