Ohio Senate advances photo voter ID amendment measure
The Ohio Senate voted Wednesday to put a constitutional amendment before voters requiring photo ID to vote. Senators introduced the resolution just two weeks ago. A companion proposal in the House is getting similar fast-track treatment.
If at least 60% of Ohio House members sign off, voters will weigh the proposal this November.
Speaking after the vote, Senate President Rob McColley, predicted the easy passage if it makes it to the ballot.
“It’s going to be very well supported by the voters,” McColley said, “and I expect that it will pass overwhelmingly, because this is the type of protection that voters want to see in the system.
