HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett will not appeal a January court ruling against the states controversial voter ID law, his administration announced late today.

.

A Commonwealth Court judge had ruled in January that the law was unconstitutional as it imposed an unreasonable burden on voters; the administration was expected to appeal to the states Supreme Court.

.

Judge Bernard McGinley had said the law unreasonably burdens the right to vote and threatened a fundamental right of hundreds of thousands of qualified voters.

.

.

The law had passed the Republican-controlled Legislature in March 2012, over the strenuous objection of Democrats, who said it would disproportionately hurt minorities, the elderly and the poor.

.

The law required all Pennsylvania voters to show one of certain forms of photo identification -- a drivers license or passport, but not welfare cards or the many college IDs that lack expiration dates. Pennsylvania is one of several states that in recent years have approved laws requiring voters to show identification, and the states law received national attention ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

.

We commend the governor for not continuing to push this dangerous and unnecessary law that would have disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of eligible voters, Witold Walczak, legal director for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, after hearing the news of Mr. Corbetts decision.
