Photo ID requirement receives preliminary approval from Kansas House

Yesterday, the Kansas House of Representatives gave preliminary approval to a bill that would require Kansas voters to shower photo ID at the polls. The bill is expected to be voted on next Friday. If passed, the new legislation would come into effect by the 2010 election. The bill includes exemptions for voters 65 years old and over, those with disabilities, soldiers on active duty away from their district, and citizens living abroad.

The Wichita Eagle offers more details on the bill.
