"The merits of Pennsylvania's Voter ID bill were argued in court for the first time Wednesday.The legal battle could wind up affecting the outcome of the presidential election.The law would require all voters to provide a photo ID before they are allowed to vote.Opponents of the legislation rallied at the state Capitol this week, saying the law is a political move to stifle Democratic voters, which may hurt President Barack Obama's campaign.Some believe Obama cannot win re-election if he does not win Pennsylvania.Some protestors expressed other concerns about the law.\"I think this is crippling the black race. This is why I think they made this law, to make sure Obama won't get in there,\" said Viviette Applewhite, 93, from Philadelphia.Applewhite is one of the voters challenging the law. She told the court she doesn't have the proper documentation to get an ID to vote.Republicans maintain the law is needed to stop voter fraud, even though the state has no evidence fraud exists."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
