HARRISBURG, Pa.
(AP) — A judge (Honorable Robert "Robin" Simpson) is postponing Pennsylvania's tough new voter
identification requirement, ordering that it not be enforced in the
presidential election.
Tuesday's
ruling comes just five weeks before the election. An appeal is
possible. The 6-month-old law requires each voter to show a valid photo
ID.
*Democrats
and groups including the AARP and NAACP mounted a furious opposition to
a law Republicans say is necessary to prevent election fraud. Critics
have accused Republicans of using old-fashioned Jim Crow tactics to
steal the White House and have highlighted stories of registered voters
struggling to get a state photo ID.
The
law was already a partisan lightning rod when a top Republican lawmaker
boasted that it'd allow GOP nominee Mitt Romney to beat Democratic
President Barack Obama in Pennsylvania.

If you are 'pulled over' by a Pennsylvania State Trooper, or any other law enforcement officer for that matter, and you are asked to SHOW YOUR IDENTIFICATION, politely refuse to surrender your credentials and say:
'you refuse to be profiled and discriminated against by being FORCED to produce any form of identification!'
