The ruling is in, and there won’t be a voter ID requirement for the 2012 election. Good Morning Politicos, here’s the buzz.

Hats off to the PLCA for a great gridiron last night!

Voter ID Ruling: Court Grants Temporary Injunction: For all intents and purposes, Pa.’s new requirement for voter ID is on hold for 2012. A Pa. judge issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday, ruling that no voter can be turned away for a lack of photo identification.

National Journal Upgrades PA Senate Race: Take that, New Jersey! With polls now showing just single digits separating Bob Casey from GOP challenger Tom Smith, Pennsylvania’s Senate race has jumped 3 spots in the National Journal’s ranking of competitive elections.

Legislative Election Updates:

Tons of Democratic candidates hailed the Voter ID decision Tuesday, including Jeff Dahlander (HD-111) and Will Sylianteng (HD-151).

HD-177: Ed Rendell continued his endorsement spree, this time backing William Dunbar over Rep. John Taylor (R-Phila). “I’ve been following William’s campaign and know of the determination and fight that he has to be successful so he can bring about the necessary change needed for the progression of this state. Pennsylvania needs a public servant who can bring that same fight and determination to Harrisburg; and the citizens of this great state deserve it,” Rendell said.
