Voter ID gets another challenge

A group of civil rights lawyers wants the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a 2007 ruling that struck down a challenge to Georgia’s voter ID law. Last year, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit on grounds it did not impose a significant burden on the right to vote. But, an attorney for the group challenging the law said the state had no evidence of voter fraud to support the need for the new law. Georgia’s voter ID rules have long been targeted by Democrats.
