Voter ID bills are in various stages in various states.

Iowa: Iowa lawmakers to take up Voter ID proposal
NC /nc-house-gop-begins-to-move-voter.html
ND: Voter ID bill passes North Dakota House
NE
Legislators want to know how much photo voter i-d will cost the state, and until they get that amount, they won't vote on the idea. - See more at: http://arkansasmatters.com/fulltext?nxd_id=641362#sthash.n6nEUS1P.dpuf

Pennsylvania: Attorney general weighs defending voter ID
Virginia: Virginia Voter ID Bill Heads to Governor's Office

This will change strategies for voter ID litigation, especially for the justice department.
If the justice department bails, and chooses not to bring actions under, e.g., the 24th A,
this will move things back to private parties. I continue to think that Crawford v Marion County is a case largely limited to its facts, and that an as-applied case supported by a Brandeis-brief approach of empirical data showing actual disenfranchisement would get a fair hearing from the court, with Roberts and Kennedy as swing votes. Meanwhile state constitutions may be the best route to provide new theories and precedents for striking down voter ID.
