The plaintiffs appealed to the state supreme court, which vacated the lower court’s decision and sent it back. Justice McCaffrey wrote, “While I have no argument with the requirement that all Pennsylvania voters, at some reasonable point in the future, will have to present photo identification before they may cast their ballots, it is clear to me that the reason for the urgency of implementing Act 18 prior to the November 2012 election is purely political. That has been made abundantly clear by the House Majority Leader.”. That month during a Fox News debate with state senator Daylin Leach, Turzai claimed that the legislation, for which no Democratic representative had voted, had bipartisan support, and argued that it “is really just about presenting voter identification, which you do when you’re buying Sudafed at a drugstore, or going to a place to buy beer, or to a gym, or going to an airport.”
