Because many of them don't have such an ID (turns out about 10% of PA voters have neither a drivers license nor the state-provided non-drivers photo ID). Getting such an ID can be expensive (both in actual costs and in work hours lost), difficult and time-consuming.

And why should a person who has voted at the same polling place for decades, and is known to the poll workers (who are, of course, her neighbors), now need a photo ID?
