One Final Thought
I’ll be honest, there are so many things going on at the State House its almost impossible to keep track of them all. In our republican-led state government, the number of bills put forth that are everything from frivolous to dangerous attacks on our election system that its hard to know what to focus on. But every once in a while, something really jumps out. HB 472 is one of those things. What started out as a bipartisan bill to help homeless people get state IDs has morphed, due to a last minute sub bill, into potentially requiring all mail-in voters to send copies of ID with their ballot. The bill has been fast-tracked, limiting discussion and voter feedback. Read more about this bill here.
