Summary

Encourages all states that have not already done so to swiftly enact laws requiring voters to present current, valid, government-issued photo identification based on proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in elections.

Applauds those states that have already implemented vigorous photo identification laws to secure the integrity of the democratic process.
