Voter ID Bill to Assembly Floor Tomorrow

While the State Senate will be addressing the Property Tax Freeze, the Assembly will be debating AB-63, the Photo ID bill.

Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale) released a press release on it. I like the last paragraph.

“The reasons given for not supporting this Bill have all been addressed, this Bill maintains our open elections while returning integrity to the process,” said Stone. “Without changes to our election process, including the requirement to prove identity, we may have serious problems meeting the Help America Vote Act requirements for the creation and maintenance of an accurate statewide voter list. At this point you are either for elections with integrity and accuracy or you are for a flawed election process.”

Indeed.

I wonder if anyone's going to bring up what Charlie Sykes found out on Friday night: Bill Richardson, Democratic Governor of New Mexico, is pushing a much tougher bill there.
