Good news from Pennsylvania. The state's onerous voter suppression law was blocked by a judge today. This will allow the nearly 800,000 Pennsylvanians who don't have the required ID to cast a ballot on Nov. 6. 
For those of you who still think this is about preventing voter fraud, let us remind you that there's nothing wrong with requiring people to prove who they are in order to vote. There is something very wrong with making it so difficult to get an ID card that large groups of voters can't vote. 
And if you still have any doubt, remember that Pennsylvania's House Majority Leader said the new law "is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania."
