Though almost 300,000 Nevadans have already voted, one of the questions for the remaining 2 million eligible voters is whether photo IDs should be required to vote.
It’s Question 7 on the ballot. It’s been pushed for years by the Republican Party, many of whom hold onto the belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, even though courts nationwide have found that claim to be false.
So voters will face many questions: Why is Voter ID needed, and how would it work, not just at the ballot box but also for mail-in ballots?
Is it fair to force residents to spend money to get state-issued IDs to vote? Is that a form of a poll tax? And will it put to rest years of suspicion by Republicans, who still hold onto the lie that the election officials worked together to steal the election in 2020?
