[EL] Chafee signs voter ID

[Eric Marshall]

There is a big difference between Michigan and the states, like Indiana,
Georgia, now Rhode Island, and the others that have a strict photo ID
requirement.  Michigan is requested, but not required.  If a voter
doesn't have photo ID she or he can sign an affidavit and still cast a
regular ballot.

Although it hasn't been updated in a few days (RI signing isn't on it
yet), this NCSL chart might be of interest to you--Michigan is the one
that strikes me.

Does anyone know offhand if any other strongly "blue" state has recently
adopted a voter id law; or is RI unique in that respect?
