A plan by state Senator Judy Ward that allows voters to decide if the Pennsylvania Constitution should be amended to require identification each time a voter casts a ballot was approved Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Senate….
The bill also proposes amending the voting age in the Pennsylvania Constitution from 21 to 18, making it consistent the U.S. Constitution. A recent poll by Franklin & Marshall College showed that 74% of Pennsylvanians who responded favored requirements that all voters show a photo ID, compared with 25% opposed. Nationally, that number climbs to 80% in support of some sort of identification to vote and 18% opposed, according to a Monmouth University poll.
