Photo ID Law for Voters Upheld in Georgia
by Amanda Adams*, 9/7/2007
A coalition of organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, the N.A.A.C.P., Common Cause Georgia, the League of Women Voters, and others challenged Georgia's voter ID law, but a federal judge ruled that the groups did not successfully prove that the law placed "an undue or significant burden" on the right to vote. U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy of Rome on Thursday ordered the dismissal of the lawsuit, and the ID law will be in effect for a September 18th election.
