Georgia Appeals Restraining Order on Voter Photo I.D.'s - New York Times

Georgia Appeals Restraining Order on Voter Photo I.D.'s - New York Times: "'We're pleased it's moving forward,'' Perdue spokesman Dan McLagan said of the appeal. ''We can't for the life of us understand why the Democrats have been so hellbent on making it easier for dead people, felons and illegal immigrants to cast ballots in their primary.''

The motion seeks to stay the temporary restraining order issued Friday by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Melvin Westmoreland.

In his sharply worded ruling, Westmoreland said the voter ID law ''unduly burdens the fundamental right to vote rather than regulate it'' and would cause ''irreparable harm.''"
