Judges approve SC voter ID law, delay implementation until 2013 | Fox News

A panel of three federal judges upheld a South Carolina law requiring voters to show photo identification, but delayed enforcement until next year, in a decision announced Wednesday, less than a month before this year's presidential election.

In a unanimous ruling, the judges said there was no discriminatory intent behind the law, ruling that it would not diminish African-Americans' voting rights because people who face a "reasonable impediment" to getting an acceptable photo ID can still vote if they sign an affidavit.

The judge declined to let the law take effect immediately, "given the short time left before the 2012 elections and given the numerous steps necessary to properly implement the law ... and ensure that the law would not have discriminatory" effects.

Suck it, libtards! The SC voter ID law is law, and according to the justices there was no discriminatory intent behind the law".

Delaying it until after the Presidential election is fair, considering the time constraints involved.

All will be upheld eventually, in today's society you have to have an ID to do almost anything, you are required one to open a bank account, and the old and disabled are required to have a bank account to receive federal benefits.

A fair compromise.
