An elections watchdog group that clashes often with the Douglas County Election Commissioner Dave Phipps filed a complaint against him for poll workers requiring an obscure identification number to cast provisional ballots.
Nebraskans for Civic Reform alleges that several election officials required voters to provide a county-assigned voter identification number to cast provisional ballots in the Nov. 6 election, says the complaint to Nebraska Secretary of State John Gale.

Adam Morfeld, the group's executive director, asked Gale to hold a public hearing on the issue.
