Kentucky's New Secretary of State, Michael Adams (R), and Leaders of the GOP State Senate Majority have reached Agreement on a Bill requiring Voters to show an Official Photo Identification at the Polls.

The Bill would Allow:

- The Creation of a No-Fee Personal Photo Identification Card that Kentuckians without Driver's Licenses could Sign-Up to receive.

- Any Form of Identification must include: a Picture, Signature, and Expiration Date.

- Driver's License

- Military ID

- College ID

- Would Allow People to Vote without an ID if they Sign an Affidavit claiming a "Reasonable Impediment" to getting One.

If Enacted the Requirements would Not Cover the May 2020 Primaries but would begin in November 2020, when President Trump is highly likely to Claim the State's Eight Electoral Votes while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) faces the following Challengers in his Bid for a Seventh Term.

Wendell K. Crow

Paul John Frangedakis

Louis Grider

Wesley Morgan

Just Seven States now have Photo ID Laws as Strict as the one being proposed, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The New Governor, Andy Beshear (D), signaled Skepticism about the Measure, saying, "I just want to make sure that there aren't unnecessary roadblocks toward voting." But since the GOP has Supermajorities in both Chambers in Frankfort, any Potential Veto would face an Override.

Adams said the Bill was Written with the Aim of Strengthening Election Security and Enhancing Public Confidence in the Voting Process. He lamented that 22 People went to Prison for Election Fraud in Kentucky between 2006 and 2014, although he Conceded None were Convicted of voter Impersonation.

Opponents of the Bill said it would make Voting more Difficult for the Disabled, the Elderly, the Poor, and Members of Minority Groups.

They said the ID Requirements for Casting a Ballot should be as Stringent as for Opening a Bank Account or Picking up Tickets at a Will-Call window.
