From the Philadelphia Inquirer - “Rendell vetoes voter identification bill”:
On Presidents' Day at the National Constitution Center, Gov. Rendell announced his veto of a bill that would have required all voters to show identification when they go to the polls.Ed Rendell claims the law would disenfranchise the 13 people in Pennsylvania without I.D. despite provisions allowing these voters to prove they’re who they say by other means. A great day for democracy.

And the local Democrat party would be glad to arrange for those 13 people to get their IDs, but that's not really what they're worried about.
They know that if the process is cleaned up and fraud is made more difficult, thousands of Democrat votes will disappear into thin air.
same story for my wonderful blue state of Wisconsin.. the Voter ID Act was vetoed by our benevolent *cough cough* governor 'Diamond' Jim Doyle
the democrats voiced opposition saying that it put an unfair burden on the poor, since the $8 charge to get an ID would cut into their cigarette and lottery ticket allowance.. republicans went so far as to write into the legislation that the state would waive the customary fee for an ID.. not good enough for the democrats
but such is the rule of politics in the state that is inventing new methods of getting out the vote, such as "Smokes For Votes" during the 2000 election.. no word on how they managed to get more votes cast in Milwaukee than there are actual residents, however.. but the all-democrat Election Committee is looking into it.. we should have the results published right about the same time Ted Kennedy sobers up
