The law was popular with everybody including a majority of democrats.

Meanwhile, as the state’s new Voter ID law works its way through the courts, the requirement remains popular.
“While judges and politicians debate Pennsylvania’s voter ID measure, voters are solidly in support of the measure, 62 – 35 percent,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “And 99 percent of voters say they believe they have the necessary documents to cast a ballot.”
F&M found similar support: 59 percent of respondents said they favor the law, while 39 percent said they opposed it.
However, critics who oppose the Voter ID requirement do room to win the public opinion battle. Of those who said initially that they favor the law, 21 percent changed their minds when asked, “Would you still favor this law if you knew that many eligible voters will be prevented from voting because they will not have a proper ID?”
That’s the crux of legal and political arguments against the law.
51 percent of respondents oppose the law when that 21 percent are figured in, while 47 percent remain opposed
