Wyoming governor signs bill requiring voter ID at polls

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill into law Tuesday that will require residents to show some form of identification when voting in person in the next election.

"It is a necessary function of our Republic to provide our citizens with confidence that our elections are secure, fair, and valid," he said. "I am proud that we were able to meet this important milestone for Wyoming." Gray was a sponsor of the bill. Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, a Republican, said he doesn’t believe the bill will suppress anyone’s vote because of amendments added to it that allow voters to use alternate forms of ID, such as a Wyoming student ID, Medicare ID or a tribal ID card, according to the Oil City News in Casper, Wyo.
