Republican leaders say the law will deter voter fraud, though there have been no documented cases in recent state history of any voter trying to impersonate another.
From the NYTimes: "The state has offered no evidence of voter identity fraud to justify this law. There is no legitimate government interest that justifies the burden the law imposes on voters. If the court does not block the law, it will cause irreparable harm. In Philadelphia, for instance, almost one-fifth of the registered voters may not have an acceptable form of identification to vote on Election Day. Statewide, almost one-tenth may not."
