The Wyoming Legislature has given final approval to a bill that will require residents to present valid forms of identification not only when voting absentee, but when voting in person whether its during early voting or on Election Day. Currently, residents are only required to present valid forms of identification when registering to vote. The Senate voted 28-2 to advance the bill on Thursday. It now goes to Governor Mark Gordon for his signature. The measure is intended to ensure against voter fraud in the state even though there have been no cases of fraud in the last several elections and only three over the past forty years.
