[EL] Rhode Island, outlier

OFFLIST

Hi Chandler-

The size of the non-white population in Rhode Island increased 2000-2010,from 15% of the population to 25% of the population. Most of that growth is non-citizen, Latino population.  I'd be curious to see whether there are other states with similar minority population growth, and also Democratically-controlled. 


Here are the details of the Rhode Island law:

The following documents can be used to demonstrate identity to vote: Rhode Island driver's license; voter identification card;  U.S. passport; Identification card issued by a U.S. educational institution;  U.S. military identification card;  Identification card issued by the U.S. government or state of Rhode Island; Government-issued medical card.

Until 2014, one can also use these forms of ID:  Birth certificate;  Social security card; Government-issued medical card.

The voter can also cast a provisional ballot.


Best,
Keith

RI is the only one of 10 states to adopt a photo ID voting requirement since 2011 that did not have a Republican governor and legislature.  What are the most significant differences between RI's new law and that of the other nine?
