Dave Weigel Reports from Pa Voter ID Trial

At Slate.  I found one part odd: “The hearing ended early. There would be no more witnesses for the state and only a few more witnesses for petitioners. I used the bonus time to meet up with a local Republican strategist who’d been following the hearings as close as everybody else and had a low opinion of them. The theory: Any decision in the Commonwealth Court would be appealed to the state Supreme Court. Why play your aces when you’ve got a higher-stakes game coming up? Why not just let the anti-ID crowd put on a parade of sad witnesses for the media?”

But given the temporary 3-3 split on the state Supreme Court, there’s a decent chance the trial judge’s decision would be final.

UPDATE: More from Weigel on Lori Minnite’s testimony about Hans von Spakovsky’s research.

Here is the Minnite guest post she’s referring to in her tesimony:

And here are more reasons to think he’s not credible:
