Christopher Broach, a Democratic inspector of elections in Colwyn, Pa., says he won�t enforce Pennsylvania�s voter ID law.

�To ask me to enforce something that violates civil rights is ludicrous and absolutely something I am not willing to do,� Broach told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Though there�s the potential he could could face fines or prison Broach said his mind is made up.

�Rosa Parks made the same decision,� he told the paper.

Pennsylvania�s statistics indicate that 43 percent of voters in Philadelphia lack a form of state-issued identification. The law is currently on trial in state court and the Justice Department is conducting a federal investigation into whether the law is discriminatory.

Answering a question from a reporter this week, Gov. Tom Corbett couldn�t remember what types of IDs were accepted under the law he signed.
