Proposed Amendment on Voter ID Advances

Voters would have to show a state or federal photo identification card to vote under a proposed amendment to the state constitution that has won preliminary approval from the state Senate.
The Republican-controlled Senate approved the amendment 20 to 13 Wednesday night, but Democrats used a procedural move to delay the plan from moving out of the chamber until Thursday (March 9, 2006).
Final approval by the Senate would put the proposal over the first hurdle in the process to rewrite the constitution to add the requirement.
The full Legislature would have to approve it again in the next two-year session before it could go to voters in a statewide referendum for final approval.
As a constitutional amendment, the proposal bypasses Gov. Jim Doyle, who opposes the voter ID requirement.
