Indiana: voter ID bill passes
AP reports: A bill that would require most voters to show government-issued photo identification before casting a ballot is on its way to Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels for consideration after winning final approval in the General Assembly on today.
Daniels has said he would likely sign the bill, which has been strongly opposed by Democrats who say it would disenfranchise voters to the GOP's benefit and be the most restrictive voter ID law in the nation.
The Republican-ruled Senate voted today 33-17 along party lines to agree to slight changes to the bill made in the GOP-controlled House. -- General Assembly passes voter ID bill
