The justice Kennedy even said that if the last lawsuit were able to identify more than a hand ful of disenfranchised voters then the ruling may have been different. If the DPG can produce a list of a couple of thousand people...than the lawsuit can swing the other way. It also helps the DPG's case that GA is covered by VRA Section 5. It is not a difficult chore to come up with that list, and it is long. The issue that has not come up too much is that while a couple hundred thousand GA registered voters (that have never been issued, or could have been issued, the proper id) really do not vote anyways. Which does not really matter...this is a matter of principle. Digested?
