Senate passes voter ID bill
The article is mainly talking about whether people will be required to show photo identification at the polls in order to vote. Obviously, the requirement of photo identification is a policy claim. There are supporters and opponents. However, the author points more views given by the opponents. Some considered that students, along with soldiers overseas, the elderly, homeless people and disabled would be deprived of the right to vote. Although the author doesn't state his personal stand, I can guess he is an opponent too, from his arrangement of the whole article. While there is also an example given as an analogy. Mississippi has already passed a photo ID requirement via constitutional amendment. But there is no analysis about whether this requirement works well in Mississippi. In my opinion, it would be better for the author to make a detailed comparison.
