The Daily Northwestern reports
The Illinois Senate voted 38-18 on [November 16] to override Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of an automatic voter registration bill.
The bill [...] would automatically register voters who are seeking a new or updated license, or who are seeking other services from state departments such as Human Services or Healthcare and Family Services.
[...]The only two things a citizen should need to vote is being 18 years old and a citizen.
[...]The bill received bipartisan support when it passed through the House by a vote of 86-30 and the Senate with a vote of 42-16.
[...]To fully override Rauner's veto, the Illinois House will also have to vote to override, but it will not back in session until Nov. 29.

They accepted the passports because they have to by federal law. The same thing applies to military IDs. The states that tried to disallow them got a smackdown in federal court.

Do you disagree with such rulings? Do you believe US military IDs and US passports should NOT be allowed as legal identification for purposes of voting?
You are still welcome on my lawn.
