An Idaho senator is bringing back a proposal to eliminate the option to use a signed affidavit to prove identity at the election polls.

Sen. Brian Lenney, R-Nampa, proposed the bill Wednesday in the Senate State Affairs Committee to repeal the part of state law that allows for a signed affidavit to be used to prove identity as an alternative to photo identification in order to vote.

Lenney called the voter affidavit a “loophole.”

“I would submit that there’s no valid excuse to show up last minute at the polls without an ID,” Lenney said.
