Before voters get a say in this year's presidential race, lawyers and judges are having theirs.
A series of court battles in several states may determine, over the
next several weeks, everything from how people cast their votes, when
polling locations will be open and what ballots will look like. Many
cases have a partisan bent, with rulings potentially tipping the scales
slightly in favor of Democrats or Republicans.
The legal fights have entered an urgent phase, two months before the
Nov. 6 election and just a few weeks before military and overseas
absentee ballots must go out.
Pennsylvania lawyers recently filed briefs arguing whether an appeal on
the state's strict voter ID law should be held in September or October.
Opponents won a mid-September court date, which is late even by their
standards.

There's nothing wrong with having to clearly identify yourself as a registered voter prior to casting your ballot. This disenfranchises NO ONE! (Good grief, if you wanted a fake id, it's easy enough to get one.)
