Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Judge’s Rejection of Challenge to Pennsylvania Voter Identification Law

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–August 15, 2012.  The AFL-CIO strongly disagrees with the judge’s decision to reject the challenge to Pennsylvania’s voter identification law.  It’s crystal clear who is behind these laws and why they want them passed.  The Republican Majority Leader of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives illustrated that so directly — saying that the voter ID law “is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.”
