Should an ID be required to vote in Illinois?
With the U.S. Supreme Court's approval of Indiana's new photo ID requirement to be shown when voting, some lawmakers feel it's an excellent time for Illinois to follow suit. State Rep. David Reis (R-Olney) has been pushing this initiative in Illinois, and has been successful in getting HB 4403 through House committee.
Rep. Reis reports pressure needs to be placed on Democratic House members, as requiring voters to present a photo ID has historically been resisted by Democrats. Twenty other states require some form of voter ID. Illinois currently requires no proof of identification when voting.
