'In an era when noncitizen voting gains currency as a serious proposal... it was heartening to see that this traditional means of safeguarding the integrity of elections remains popular with voters.' -Jack Fitzhenry
hen Nebraskans went to the polls last November, nearly two-thirds of voters decided to amend Nebraska’s Constitution to require people to present a valid photo identification before casting a vote in future elections.
Still, after the voters spoke in November, there was work to be done. The newly adopted amendment left to the state’s Legislature the task of determining how the voters’ will would be implemented. And good intentions, like those the amendment expressed, never suffice to ensure good outcomes. The law mandates that in any election, a person who appears at the polls to vote must first show a valid photo ID before he or she casts a ballot. Those choosing to vote by mail are obliged to provide either a copy of their photo ID or the number from their state driver’s license or state ID card with their ballot envelope. The law wisely prevents voters from signing an affidavit in lieu of providing a photo ID, a fraud-prone practice allowed in some states.
