U.S. House Approves Voter Photo ID Bill

The voter photo ID fight now has shifted to Washington. Only days after a Jefferson City judge ruled a state law requiring voters display photo identification to vote was unconstitutional, the U.S. House has approved such a measure. Just as in Missouri, the issue breaks along party lines. The House in Washington voted 288-196 to require a photo ID in federal elections, beginning in 2008. Proof of citizenship would be required by 2010.
