Federal judge tosses Ga. voter ID lawsuit; law will be enforced« Thread Started on Sept 7, 2007, 11:21pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Federal judge tosses Ga. voter ID lawsuit; law will be enforcedThe Associated Press - ATLANTAread at source> http://www.accessnorthga.com/news/ap_ne ... ?ID=97269A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a challenge to Georgia's voter identification law, saying the statute does not impose a significant burden on the right to vote.Barring an appeal, U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy's decision removes the last obstacle to enforcing the voter ID law.Murphy praised the state's "exceptional efforts to contact voters who potentially lacked a valid form of Photo ID.""Plaintiffs are hard-pressed to show that voters in Georgia, in general, are not aware of the Photo ID requirement," Murphy wrote in a 159-page ruling.Also, because voters have the option to vote absentee without photo identification, they are not barred from participating in elections, Murphy pointed out.
