Says Handel: Bring your photo ID to September special elections, from PI:

Secretary of State Karen Handel announced this morning that the state’s photo identification requirement, subject of much state and federal court action, will be effective for in-person voting, beginning with special elections of Sept. 8.

Handel said she based her decision on a June 11 ruling by the state Supreme Court, dismissing a challenge to the law because of the plaintiff’s lack of standing.

So far as we know, the federal challenge is still pending. Look for foes of the measure, who say it discriminates against minorities and the elderly, to try and stop the secretary of state.

Watch PI for updates on the story today.
