Voter ID Fight Continues in U.S.

A revised law requiring Georgia voters to show government-issued photo ID at the polls cleared an important hurdle Friday, gaining the approval of the U.S. Department of Justice. But whether voters will have to present a photo ID at the polls for the July 18 primaries remains unknown because a federal lawsuit challenging the law is still pending. The law has also been challenged in state court.
