Voters taking part in the upcoming recall elections would need photo identification, if the latest version of the controversial voter ID bill becomes law. The Legislature?s Joint Finance Committee passed an amended version of the photo ID bill Monday, removing a provision that required student IDs to carry correct addresses and moving up the date of implementation to immediately after the bill passes. The original bill required student IDs to carry a current address, birth date, signature and expiration date. Currently, no college or university ID used in the state, including from UW-Madison, meets those criteria.
