Idaho voters will be required to provide photo identification or sign an affidavit that they are who they before they are given a ballot at polling places under a proposal introduced Tuesday by House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star. The bill, which was printed by the House State Affairs Committee, would make it a felony to vote using someone else’s name. Moyle said it was hard to tell if anyone had committed voter fraud in this way, but that the issue “has been a concern for a while. This is a start in the right direction”/Brian Murphy, Idaho Politics. More here.
