A bill that would require Virginia voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot is headed to Gov. Robert F. McDonnell after passing along partisan lines Wednesday in the House of Delegates.
The Senate proposal passed the House by a vote of 65 to 34. While Republicans maintained that the measure was needed to protect the integrity of the elections process, Democrats said the bill amounted to a “poll tax” that would impose an undue burden on citizens.
