The Pennsylvania Senate on June 23 passed a bill that would amend the state constitution to require that voters present identification each time they cast a ballot.

The measure, SB735, passed in a 30–20 vote, mostly along partisan lines. The proposal was backed by all Republicans and a single Democrat.
