Georgia: state appeals voter I.D. case to state supreme court
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: The state has filed a notice that it intends to appeal to a Superior Court judge's ruling that declared Georgia's photo ID law unconstitutional, blocking enforcement of the law in this fall's general election.
The notice was filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court by Attorney General Thurbert Baker on behalf of Gov. Sonny Perdue and the state Board of Elections. Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford Jr. last week rejected the state's latest attempt to require voters to present a government-issued photo ID at the polls.
The notice puts the state on record that it will at some point file the appeal, raising specific points. -- State appeals rejection of photo ID law | ajc.com
