As he promised in December, Murante once again introduced a voter ID bill (LB1066) that would require voters to present a current form of identification before they could vote.
According to the bill, appropriate forms of ID include driver’s licenses, state, college or university-issued ID cards, passports or military IDs—-which 97 percent of Nebraskans already carry, Murante said.
Voters could apply to the Secretary of State’s office for a free photo ID that would comply with the state law, which would come at some cost to the state’s general fund, Murante said, particularly during a budget squeeze.
