The Kentucky Senate has voted 27 to seven in favor of modifying voter identification requirements. Proponents say it strengthens current law, while opponents say it’s more restrictive.
The legislation removes items from both primary and secondary voter ID lists. Removing student IDs as a primary form of voter identification created the most debate. Lawrenceburg GOP Senator Adrienne Southworth said there’s a need to be more careful of what’s out there regarding identification.
