From PathWays PA (http://www.pathwayspa.org):
Pennsylvania recently passed a Voter ID law, which requires that individuals show a government issued form of identification when they go to vote. This law will be in full effect for the November election.
To draw attention to this law two groups, the NAACP and AARP, are holding rallies. According to state election officials, over 758,000 registered voters in PA lack the necessary ID to vote in the November general elections. More Pennsylvanians need to be aware of this law and prepared to vote.
