Today on the Senate floor, there was a motion to bring Assembly Joint Resolution 17 (AJR 17) to the floor for a vote. AJR 17 is the constitutional amendment to require a photo ID to vote. AJR 17 allows you to express your desires about photo ID at the voting booth.
The motion to bring the resolution to the floor was a motion to suspend the rules of the Senate that required a two-thirds vote.
All Senate Republicans voted to take up the constitutional amendment.
All Senate Democrats except one voted against bringing the constitutional amendment to the floor.
The motion failed 15-17.
Senate Democrats continue to obstruct the opportunity for you to express your will about requiring a photo ID to vote. Studies show overwhelmingly that people want photo ID as a requirement to vote.
