LIVE VIDEO: House Committee Hearing Voter Photo ID Debate

The Government Operations and Elections Committee will be debating the issue.

The much talked about voter photo ID bill will be in front of the House Government Operations and Elections Committee today—a committee which includes Southwest Minneapolis' Frank Hornstein (DFL-60B).

The GOP proposal would require voters to present photo IDs at the polls. Supporters say this would cut down on voting fraud, while opponents say it is an unnecessary measure that could disenfranchise some voters.

You can watch the hearing live here beginning at 10:15 a.m., courtesy of The UpTake.
