Viviette Applewhite got her temp id back in August, one day after the judge upheld the law. That's why she was no longer the lead plaintiff in the case. No one was telling her she cannot vote, quite the opposite. ;)

The day after a judge upheld Pennsylvania's new voter identification law, the lead plaintiff in the suit seeking to block the law went to a PennDot office and was issued the photo ID card she needs to vote.

Nothing has changed since Viviette Applewhite, 93, testified in July. The law stands. She still doesn't have a driver's license or Social Security card. The name on her birth certificate is still different from the name on her other documents - all of which, under the law, should have barred her from getting her photo ID.

But at precisely 1:16 p.m. Thursday, she got it anyway.

>YOU tell this woman she can't vote and then look at yourself in the mirror. She has been voting in every election for decades. If you prefer one candidate to the other, fine, but this kind of legal shenanigans is bogus.
