Photo ID bill would add voting barrier in Kansas
State senator Tim Huelskamp proposes a photo identification requirement for voters. The measure lists acceptable IDs such as Kansas driver licenses, state ID cards, passports and various badges. Critics say the plan would disenfranchise poor and minority voters and fail to prove illegal immigration affects elections. The League of Women Voters warns it would deter participation and undermine clean elections.
