The law goes into effect after the election, so no big deal. I actually think that's a pretty good compromise. If you can't get your ID by 2016, you're not trying. Heck, you still don't need an ID anyway.
If you read the opinion, you realize that you still don't actually need an ID to vote. If you sign an affidavit that you have a "reasonable impediment" to obtaining an ID, you still get to cast a provisional ballot. As long as the affidavit is true, you get to vote. Funny, you never hear that in all the rhetoric surrounding this issue.
The law sounds pretty darn reasonable when you get beyond sound-bites actually get into the details.
