commonwealth-451	Guirguis, Max	The Rise and Fall of Pennsylvania's Voter Identification Law	2015	23	.pdf	application/pdf	10709	590	59	In upholding it, the Supreme Court rejected the contention that voter ID laws are subtle discriminatory devices akin to literacy tests, whose real purpose was to disfranchise rather than maintain an informed electorate.
