The Republican-led Michigan House of Representatives passed a strict voter ID law Wednesday that would disproportionately affect Democrat-heavy Detroit.
Under the bill, residents who vote without a photo identification would be required to bring an ID to the clerk’s office within 10 days of an election or the vote won’t be counted.
About a third of the people who voted without an ID in the Nov. 8 election in Michigan were from Detroit, where Hillary Clinton received 95% of the vote.
Under the current law, voters currently may cast a provisional ballot without an ID.
Republicans said the bill is intended to prevent voter fraud. Democrats claim the law is intended to disenfranchise voters in lower-income areas.
