Iowa on Friday became the latest state to enact a voter-ID law to protect the integrity of its election process, and the state’s elected leaders are already bracing for a legal challenge seeking to invalidate that law before it can go into effect next year.

Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who is the longest-serving governor in the nation, signed the legislation into law on May 5. The bill, House File 516, specifies voter-identification requirements to cast a ballot in elections, shortens the time period for early voting, and updates the state’s absentee-voting procedures.

Voters without proper identification may still cast a provisional ballot on Election Day, which must be later authenticated before the ballot can be tabulated and added to the vote total.

The law also reduces the window for early voting in the Hawkeye State from 40 days to 29 days.

More than 30 states currently have some form of voter-ID law, and legal experts believe the Supreme Court is likely to take another case soon to clarify which voter-ID requirements pass legal muster.

Proud to be from Iowa today! We'll see how long it lasts.

I voted in a local bond election last week. Every time I walk into the poll booth lately and vote without showing any ID, it makes me feel like I'm cheating or committing a crime. I'm not sure why. At any rate, it will be a privilege to show my ID next time I vote.

Makes good sense to me.

I'm sure some Oblamer appointee will be along to claim it's "unconstitutional". Despite the fact that to enter said "judge's" courtroom one would need to present ID and pass through a scanner.

I really wish they'd think about all the homeless trasexual African Americans they are literally murdering with this legislation.

Iowa is a bunch of racist, fascist, nationalist, Nazi's and I demand a safe space ASAP.

Bet the challenge comes from Iowa City! Island of liberals in a sea of conservatism.
Good for Iowa!

Yeah, and we have 2, count 'em 2, R Senators and voted for Trump. Doing our best to MAGA.

Great Job Iowa.

We need more states to adopt this "common sense measure" to ensure the vote is genuine.

In Texas they keep throwing road blocks up to overturn our law here.

If we have additional states to point to as working successfully that will help, thanks Iowa!

This is good news (and common sense). With Gorsuch on the bench, it might survive Democrat attacks.

These judges always think they can overturn the will of the people.
Voter ID is VERY important in preventing voter fraud.
