A Pennsylvania judge has blocked the enforcement of the key portion of the state’s new voter identification law this week.
The law was enacted by the Pennsylvania state legislature and signed into law by Republican Governor Tom Corbett last March who bragged that Romney would win the state after singing the law.
Judge Robert Simpson said that even with the streamlined procedures that state officials proposed to make it easier for voters without ID cards to obtain them, “the proposed changes are to occur about five weeks before the general election, and I question whether sufficient time now remains to attain the goal of liberal access” to ID cards.
NBC’s Pete Williams explains why the law won’t go into full effect into next year in the video below.
