Gronstal: Voter ID bill not leaving Senate
Gronstal: Voter ID bill not leaving Senate
COUNCIL BLUFFS — Don't expect to have to show photo identification before voting any time soon. At least that's the opinion of Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal of Council Bluffs, who said Saturday that such a bill would not move forward in the Senate this year.
Requiring voters to show photo ID has been the push of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, a former Council Bluffs City Council member who says it is a way to eliminate voter fraud — though cases of voter fraud have been rare nationwide.
"There is not a single county auditor who supports" the push, Gronstal said at Saturday's Legislative Coffee. "They all think it's an overreaction."

We HAVE to retain the Senate (gaining a few house seats would be nice too).
