****Voting ID Bill Rejected In CO Senate!
(Bill Would Have Required Passports, Birth Certificates To Vote.)
DENVER -- A divisive proposal to require proof of citizenship when people register to vote failed narrowly after a long and heated hearing Wednesday in a Colorado Senate committee.
Backers of the plan said they hope it fares better in the Republican-controlled House.
Senate Bill 18 would have required passports, birth certificates or naturalization papers for Coloradans trying to register to vote. A similar requirement in Arizona was struck down by a federal appeals court last October.
Republican supporters, including Secretary of State Scott Gessler, argued the measure would prevent voting fraud, but the question failed 3-2 amid Democratic concerns the requirement isn't needed. The requirement would apply to new applicants, but not existing voters.
