House sends compromise voting measure back to Senate
HARRISBURG - Voters would have to show some form of identification before casting ballots in any election, under legislation
"This bill could disenfranchise thousands of voters, which is counter to the American election system," Rendell's spokeswoman, Kate Philips, said.
Currently, only people voting in a polling place for the first time must show identification. Under the legislation, every voter would have to show election workers a form of identification such as a valid driver's license; U.S. passport; a student, employee or government ID; or a county voter-registration card.
The House and Senate had disagreed over whether the bill should also prohibit paroled felons from voting, and how many alternative forms of identification voters could use to verify their identities at the polls. The compromise bill does not include the ban on felons voting, which had been passed by the House, and it also allows for a wider range of alternative identification forms favored by the Senate
