Photo voter ID suit testimony could wrap today

Testimony is expected to wrap today in Rome in a lawsuit over Georgia's photo ID requirement for voters. The suit is the final hurdle before the law is put into action during special elections ahead on September 18th. Several opponents want to block enforcement of the requirements. Groups such as the NAACP say the law violates constitutional rights of minorities, making it harder to vote. No date has yet been set on a ruling from the federal judge.
