Pennsylvania’s voter ID law is unsalvageable, challengers to the law told the Commonwealth Court on the first day of trial in Harrisburg on Monday, emphasizing their preference for a finding from the court that the law, just over a year old now, is unconstitutional on its face.
The state, however, argued that “the sole issue relative to the constitutionality of Act 18 is whether it can be implemented in a way that registered voters who want ID to vote have liberal access to obtain one,” said Timothy Keating, of the state Attorney General’s Office.
