49. How come the new laws get struck down

But the 30 or so states that have existing laws (I've had to show ID for a decade or two at least) can continue?

Does it make a difference that the state will give out a free state ID card?

Excellent news, with national implications. The RW is gonna fight hard this time around. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #1

Your ex-wife should be able to correct this with voter registrar Gothmog Apr 2014 #30
She got it corrected already, it's just the fact that they had it correct, then changed it back Dustlawyer Apr 2014 #37
