HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - A judge on Tuesday blocked Pennsylvania from requiring voters to show photo identification in November's U.S. election, a decision that could influence turnout in a top electoral prize in the presidential race.

In a setback for Republican state officials who championed thecontroversial law and had hoped it would help them deliver Pennsylvania for their party's presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson delayed its implementation until after Election Day, November 6.

Simpson, however, did signal the law, which requires people seeking to vote to show either a state driver's license, government employee ID or a state non-driver ID card, could be implemented for future elections. The judge, ordered by the state's highest court to revisit his earlier ruling upholding the law, set a hearing for December 13 to further discuss the case.

There is no legitimate reason to require a picture ID to vote. There are legitimate reasons for requiring licenses to own firearms. What's so hard to understand?

the difference? maybe you can expound upon the reasons for requiring a license to exercise a right in a way that doesn't allow requiring a license for all rights.
