LINCOLN — A bill that would require voters to show government-issued photo identification is dead for this year.
Nebraska lawmakers voted 25-15 on Feb. 18 on a motion to bracket — or table — Legislative Bill 111 until the end of the session. The vote ended what had promised to be a four-day filibuster.
State Sen. Tyson Larson of O’Neill, who introduced the measure, said he was disappointed. He promised to keep working on the issue and perhaps bring it up again next year.
