Pennsylvania's new voter-ID requirements threaten to disenfranchise a significant number of Asian Americans, particularly immigrant citizens without a solid command of English, leaders of several Asian American support groups alleged at a news conference Monday.
Glenn D. Magpantay, an official with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said immigrants might struggle with the Department of Transportation's application for a nondriver photo-ID card, one of the forms of identification people would have to show election officials to vote in November.
