Supreme reasoning on election law

Interesting news regarding an Arizona statute requiring identification to vote (here): the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a 9th Circuit decision enjoining implementation of a voter ID law in AZ.

This is a positive step for a) preventing Libs/Dems from pulling 11th hour stunts with sympathetic judges to affect elections; b) acknowleding that failure to take reasonable steps to prevent voter fraud undermines confidence in our electoral system--every fraudulent vote cast disenfranchises a legal voter.

From the what I can tell, the Supreme Court just removed the injunction against Arizona, they haven't decided on whether or not Voter ID Requirements are constitutional or not.

You're right. I'm impressed with the reasoning of the decision and what it portends for future such cases. I guess I'd say the frivolous/baseless suit warranted a non-decision.
