Last week, a House committee rejected an amendment to a bill requiring Illinois voters to present photo identification before casting a ballot. But as the Daily Herald's John Patterson reported on Friday, the bill's Republican sponsor expects the measure to face a vote in the full House this week:
A committee rejected an amendment yesterday, but the general plan is still pending in the full House and [Rep. David] Reis told us he fully intends to have a vote.
The amended version would have let someone without ID cast a vote and it would count so long as the person could show an ID to an election official within 10 days.
