The federal court rejects the Texas Voter ID law Thursday.
The law would have required those who live there to show photo ID at the polls. But, will this decision effect the Voter ID law in Pennsylvania?
A spokesperson for Pennsylvania's Department of State, says that what happened in Texas Thursday, the federal court ruling against the Voter ID law, will have no effect in the Keystone State.
Department of State spokesperson Matthew Keeler says that Pennsylvania law more closely resembles the Voter ID legislation in Indiana, which has passed Supreme Court review.
Pennsylvania's Voter ID law is being appealed right now at the state supreme court level.
In November, voters in 30 states will have to present some form of ID at the polls. Ten of the states will require a photo ID, including the presidential battlegrounds of Florida, Michigan, Virginia and now, possibly Pennsylvania.
The four justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear the case on September 13.
