EOB: House OKs Voter ID 64-6

Legislation from House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star, to require voters to show a photo I.D. in order to vote has cleared the House on a 64-6 vote, after a vigorous debate, and now moves to the Senate. Moyle said, “The right to vote in this country is a sacred right. … We want to make sure that when you vote, that you are who you say you are.” Opponents said Idaho has no problem with fraudulent voting now, and Rep. Donna Boe, D-Pocatello, spoke out against the bill/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.
