Georgia voter ID update

The Georgia Supreme Court has denied the State of Georgia's request that they be allowed to enforce Georgia's new voter ID law in the upcoming elections:
The Georgia Supreme Court today denied the state's emergency request to overrule a court order that blocks enforcement of the state's new voter photo I-D law during next week's primary elections.

The high court's ruling means voters will not be required to show photo I-D's during the elections Tuesday.
According to the article, the ruling was unanimous.
