Pennsylvania courts cite a law from 1869:

http://www.witf.org/state-house-sound-bites/2012/09/voter-id-heads-to-the-state-supremes-tomorrow.php

From 1869:"rogues and strumpets do not nightly traverse the deserted highways of the farmer. Low inns, restaurants, sailors' boarding-houses and houses of ill fame do not abound in rural precincts, ready to pour out on election day their pestilent hordes."

Can anyone even translate that passage into modern English?

I wonder if it will be in place for the election considering an appeal to the US Supreme Court is likely after the state Supreme Court's decision and early voting begins in about 6 weeks for Pennsylvania?
