Voter ID bill advances in Wyoming Legislature
(Dan Cepeda, Oil City File)
A measure to require a photo ID at the polls is sailing through the Legislature — despite testimony from the Secretary of State and local election clerks that voter fraud is not a problem in Wyoming.
House Bill 75 – voter fraud-prevention would require voters to present either a valid Wyoming driver’s license, tribal ID, U.S. passport, military ID or Medicare insurance card when voting in person. Passage of the bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Chuck Gray (R-Casper) and co-sponsored by 56 lawmakers between the House and Senate, is all but certain.
