Court to hear challenge to South Carolina voter ID law
Washington (CNN) - South Carolina officials head to federal court on Monday to defend a controversial new voter identification law, dismissing suggestions the requirement would deny tens of thousands of people, many of them minorities, access to the ballot.
A weeklong trial will kick off in Washington before a panel of three judges who will decide whether the law should take effect. It is one of several legal challenges to voter identification laws nationwide.

Supporters of Voter ID laws are conveniently unaware of the fact that the Voting Rights Act does not care what the *intent* of voting related laws, but only considers the *effect* of those laws. In other words, the whole argument about how Voter ID laws are supposed to reduce voter fraud are irrelevant and actually off topic. That's why the PA officials never made that argument when their law had its' day in court.
