Senator Julie Slama (R-Neb.) has been the one filibustering the latest version of the bill for this reason.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, the Nebraska lawmakers are scheduled to discuss the bill on Thursday in a final debate, the same day they plan to adjourn the session. The measure is expected to pass as it is backed by the Republican governor and the secretary of state who oversees elections.<\/p>\n<p>Slama challenged the current bill, as she is looking for including notarization of mail-in ballots, audits of witness signatures for mail-in ballots, and verification of voters\u2019 citizenship, with some election officials claiming her preferences would counter constitutional law and could disenfranchise some voters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s voter ID without the voter ID,\u201d Slama said. \u201cYou have exceptions a mile wide to where anybody voting in person or through mail-in voting can have their vote counted even if they don\u2019t present a voter identification. I\u2019m not backing down; I\u2019m fighting for the people on this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the debate of LB 514, concerns were brought forth about people who claim they cannot get an ID in time for the next election.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe want to honor the will of the people, even if we personally disagree with voter ID,\u201d said Senator Danielle Conrad (D-NEB.), \u201cBut we need to honor the will of the people as effectuated through that vote. We need to take lessons from the courts, we need to take lessons from our sister states, and we need to make sure we do not disenfranchise other eligible voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Slama introduced her own \u201cfraud-friendly\u201d bill in the session, however, the government and Military Affairs Committee put together the current version of the bill with Secretary of State Bob Enven.<\/p>\n<p>The current bill would allow a wide variety of photo identification that voters can present at the polls including passports, driver\u2019s licenses, military and tribal IDs and Nebraska college IDs. Expired IDs would also be allowed as long as there is the voters\u2019 name and photo on it. Residents of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living centers would also be allowed to use patient documents that include a photo.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I have always been in favor of Voter ID, and I supported the Constitutional amendment.

The only holdout was Sarpy County Election Commissioner Emily Ethington, Slama\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Top Stories:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Speaker McCarthy\u2019s debt ceiling deal may cost him his post in this edition of the Daily Feed with Tom McGrath.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Over Memorial Day weekend, a group of teens were videotaped assaulting off-duty Marines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Colorado State Senator Ted Harvey, who\u2019s also the chairman of the committee to defeat the president, says Ron DeSantis has some catching up to do.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Robert F.
