House lawmaker says Stop Insider Trading Act is paired with national Voter ID Act
Summary
On the House floor the lawmaker said the insider trading bill is coupled with a Voter ID Act that would require voters to show photo identification for federal elections nationwide, noting 24 states already require photo ID.
A House lawmaker said the Stop Insider Trading Act is being considered alongside a Voter ID Act that would require voters to present photo identification when casting ballots in federal elections. "Our voter ID act implements common sense election integrity measures by requiring voters to show photo ID when casting a ballot in federal elections," the lawmaker said.
The lawmaker cited that 24 states already require some form of photo ID to vote and described the bill as taking that standard nationwide. The remarks framed the pairing of the two measures as part of a package of "common sense reforms."
