Wyoming Voter ID Bill Passes House, Headed To Senate
The vote in favor of House Bill 75 was 51-9 in favor.
Opponents of the bill have generally characterized the bill as a solution in search of a problem since even most supporters of the measure don t claim that voter fraud is a big problem in the state. Rep. Andi Clifford [D-Fremont County] argued that it would tend to discourage voter turnout and amounts to voter suppression while not addressing any actual problem in the state
But supporters of the measure argue that while there may not be an extensive history of fraud in Wyoming elections, requiring identification is a good, common-sense step to take to guarantee free and fair elections.
