Why isn't this a federal law?

Georgia voters will be required to show a photo ID at the polls for a special election in September, following several years of court and legislative battles, the secretary of state said Tuesday.

A lawsuit contended the 2006 law was an undue burden on voters, and a Fulton County judge agreed, ruling the law unconstitutional. The Georgia Supreme Court threw out the case, though, finding the plaintiff lacked legal standing to challenge the law. On Friday, the high court denied a motion to reconsider.

Secretary of State Karen Handel said Tuesday that the refusal to reconsider cleared the way for Georgia to implement the law for its Sept. 18 special election. But first, she said, the state will launch an education effort to let voters know about the new requirement.
