In a statement late Thursday, Doyle said an alternative plan that Senate Democrats floated Thursday was "a very reasonable voter ID proposal."The Democrats' proposal: A voter would have to present either a photo ID, an official document showing current address along with a signed affidavit, or the last four digits of their Social Security number with a signed affidavit.
We're getting closer. With passage in the State Senate delayed until May 31st, Republicans should take that time to try to get the necessary Democrats to support the stronger Republican bill rather than acquiesce to the Democrats' much weaker version. There is room to compromise (perhaps accepting other forms of photo id along with a utility bill showing the person's address rather than just a DOT issued id card) but in the end there has to be a photo id requirement.
