Tibbs Urges Quick Voter ID Action

In light of the U. S. Supreme Court ruling today in favor of an Indiana voter identification law, Rep. Sue Tibbs urged the Senate and governor to act quickly to put a similar law in place in Oklahoma.

The 6-3 vote allows Indiana to require identification when it holds its statewide primary next week.

Senate Bill 1150, authored by Tibbs, R-Tulsa, would require voters to show one of several options of identification before casting a ballot, including a free, state-issued voter identification card. It is currently awaiting action in the Senate.
