Nebraska voter ID ballot measure would be among nation's toughest


By Martha Stoddard

LINCOLN — Nebraska would have some of the strictest voter identification requirements in the nation if voters approve Initiative 432 next month.

The proposed constitutional amendment would require voters to present “valid photographic” ID before casting a ballot “in any election.” If the measure passed, state lawmakers would determine many of the details, such as what counts as a valid ID.

But the amendment would apply to mail-in ballots, as well as those cast in person, and it does not provide for exceptions. That would put Nebraska in a minority among the 35 states that require voters to present some type of ID for voting.

Of those voter ID states, only 18 request or require a photo ID, according to a tally by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Twelve of them allow alternatives for at least some people who lack a photo ID.

Voter fraud is almost non-existent, but the radicalized Republican party screams about it to distract from their efforts at election fraud.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:
