Proposed NC constitutional amendment to require photo ID for mail voting passes legislature

Republican lawmakers have approved a proposed constitutional amendment that asks North Carolinians to approve photo ID for those voting by mail. The House passed the proposal 73-45, setting it up to appear on a future ballot. It cannot be vetoed by Gov. Roy Cooper and requires a majority vote at a general election to be added to the constitution. Senate Bill 921 requires all North Carolina voters to present photo ID — including those voting by mail. Current state law requires ID for all forms of voting; this amendment would officially enshrine it in the constitution. Galen Bacharier, NC Newsline.
