Arizona Senate committee approves voter i.d. bill
A Senate committee approved a proposal Wednesday to require voters to show their driver's licenses or state-issued identifications to cast ballots at polling places.
A similar bill was approved last year by the Legislature, but Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed it, saying it was a deterrent to voter participation.
This year's bill was approved 5-4 Wednesday by the Senate's Judiciary Committee. -- Capitol briefs (Arizona Republic)
