From the editorial page of The Mercury:

THORNS to some Philadelphia Democratic Party committee members who urged voters to refuse to show identification to poll workers as part of Tuesday’s test run for the new voter ID law in Pennsylvania. The law has its drawbacks, particularly for older voters and the low-income, but that doesn’t justify those who are part of the political process encouraging voters to disobey it. Philadelphia already has a reputation for voting irregularities. We would hope those who work within the electoral system would also work to make it better and never discourage voters from legally participating.
