On September 20, the US House of Representatives passed HR 4844, by Henry Hyde (R-Il.). It would require everyone to present a government-issued photo ID before voting at the polls, effective in 2008. By 2010, such ID must also be of a type that certifies the holder is a citizen. The vote was 228-196. The bill also requires states to provide such ID free.
